Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq axed from Real Sociedad pre-season squad

Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Umar Sadiq, has been axed from Real Sociedad’s pre-season squad for the club’s summer tour of Japan to further cast doubt over his future in San Sebastián.

The 28-year-old forward, who joined the Spanish side from Almería in 2022 for a reported €20 million fee, has struggled to make an impact since his arrival at the club.

This comes after reports in Spanish media claimed that new manager Sergio Francisco does not see him as part of his plans for the upcoming season.

Sadiq was also left out of the matchday squad for Real Sociedad’s recent friendly against French side Pau FC.

“This decision indicates that the 28-year-old forward is not part of coach Sergio Francisco’s plans, which brings his departure from the txuri-urdin team even closer,” Levante-EMV reported.

“His incorporation back to the team is unfeasible at this time in the market. The club remains interested and is awaiting any movement that could facilitate its arrival in the future.” Levante-EMV added.

“Valencia can acquire his services but will have to wait until the end of the summer market because the operation is more economical for them.”

Club sources have suggested that Sociedad’s sporting management are actively seeking a solution for the striker, who still has two years left on his contract.

The Super Eagles forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia, where he enjoyed a modest resurgence, scoring six goals in 19 appearances.
