Valencia seal loan-to-buy deal with Sociedad for Umar Sadiq

Real Sociedad striker Umar Sadiq is on the verge of rejoining Valencia following a breakthrough in negotiations between the two LaLiga clubs.

After impressing during his loan spell in the second half of last season, Sadiq is eager to make a comeback at the Mestalla. According to El Desmarque, the Nigerian forward has agreed to a 30% reduction in his wages to facilitate the move.

The clubs have settled on a loan-to-buy deal, with only a few minor details left to finalize. Valencia will pay under €1 million for the initial loan, while holding an option to make the transfer permanent for €9 million.

Sadiq’s return could be a major boost for Valencia’s attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
