The future of Real Sociedad’s Nigerian forward Sadiq Umar remains uncertain as the transfer window edges closer to its deadline, as per allnigeriasoccer.com.
The striker, who joined the Spanish club in September 2022 following Alexander Isak’s departure to Newcastle, has struggled to regain his form after a serious injury.
Umar made an immediate impact with a goal on his debut against Atlético Madrid, but his progress was derailed by an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in a match against Getafe. Although he returned to action last season, his goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with only three goals to his name since his comeback.

This underwhelming performance has sparked rumors of a potential exit, with clubs like Bologna, Genoa, Valencia, and Sevilla reportedly interested in the 26-year-old striker. Real Sociedad’s press officer, Jon Ander Munduate, acknowledged that Umar could leave the club before the transfer window closes.
