Super Eagles forward Sadiq Umar is once again at the center of transfer drama, with Valencia preparing a final loan offer to Real Sociedad just days before the window shuts — www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to Soccernet.ng, negotiations between both clubs have dragged on for weeks, as Sociedad insist on a permanent transfer while Valencia prefer a short-term deal.
The 28-year-old striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia, scoring six goals in 19 appearances and winning the hearts of fans at the Mestalla.
Despite that contribution, the Spanish club opted against a permanent move earlier this summer, leaving his future unsettled.
Real Sociedad have already told Sadiq he does not fit into their plans, but no concrete bids arrived from other interested La Liga sides like Girona, Rayo Vallecano, Elche, or Alaves.
With the deadline just four days away, Valencia are now prepared to pay €1 million for another loan deal, forcing Sociedad to make a quick decision.
Reports suggest Los Ches want the move completed by Monday, otherwise the opportunity could slip away.
Sadiq is eager to return to Valencia, where he believes he can revive his career and enjoy regular game time.
