Nigerian forward Sadiq Umar has completed a loan move to Valencia CF from Real Sociedad, a transfer that will keep him at the Mestalla Stadium for the remainder of the 2024/2025 campaign.
Umar joined Real Sociedad in 2022, where he showcased glimpses of his attacking prowess despite injury interruptions. With limited game time this season, the 27-year-old striker has opted for a fresh challenge with Valencia, where he is anticipated to have a more influential role.
Valencia officials have expressed optimism about the deal, highlighting the striker’s skill set and experience as valuable assets. “Sadiq is a fantastic addition to our squad. We are confident he will contribute positively to our objectives,” the club stated.
Umar, too, is eager to embrace the opportunity, expressing his excitement about joining a club with Valencia’s stature. “It’s an honor to play for Valencia. I’m ready to give my best and help the team achieve its goals,” the forward remarked.
