Nigeria international Umar Sadiq is set to depart Real Sociedad following another challenging season with the Basque club.

According to a report from Football Espana, the forward has informed Real Sociedad of his intention to move on and seek opportunities elsewhere.

Sadiq’s tenure at Real Sociedad has been marred by difficulties since his €20 million transfer from Almeria in the summer of 2022.

Just two months after joining, he suffered a severe injury that sidelined him for 11 months.

Since returning from his ACL injury, Umar has struggled to regain his form and secure consistent playing time.

With his future at the Anoeta Stadium in doubt, Sadiq has reportedly requested to leave the club this summer and may submit a formal transfer request.

Getafe has emerged as the frontrunner for his signature, likely through a loan deal, while Almeria has also been mentioned as a potential destination on a similar arrangement.

Umar Sadiq is eager for regular playing time to rediscover his form and re-enter the national team conversation.
