striker Umar Sadiq has officially completed his sensational move from LaLiga side UD Almería to Real Sociedad in a deal worth €26m plus-add-ons and a 15 per cent sell-on clause until the 2027/28 season....CONTINUE READING
Sociedad took to their official social media handle on Thursday to officially unveil the forward, handing him the No. 25 jersey.
The 25-year-old comes in as a replacement for Alexander Isak, who joined Newcastle for a club-record €70m.
Sadiq was close to a move to Villarreal, but the deal eventually collapsed, allowing Sociedad to cash in on the Nigerian international.
The Nigerian striker netted two goals in three LaLiga games this season for newly promoted Almeria and is seen as a perfect replacement for Isak.
Sadiq was instrumental in Almería’s promotion to LaLiga and scored 40 league goals in the last two years for them, with his 18 goals last season helping La Union finish as the Spanish Segunda champions.
Sadiq could make his Sociedad debut against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
