Umar Sadiq, the Nigerian forward who joined Real Sociedad in 2022 with high expectations, has faced challenges in securing a position within the team under coach Imanol Alguacil. Initially regarded as a key player, Sadiq has only participated in eight matches this season and has yet to establish himself as a reliable goal scorer. Consequently, the coaching staff is evaluating other options, and Sadiq has become the third choice for his position. With the winter transfer window on the horizon, a departure might prove advantageous for both parties. Las Palmas has expressed interest in a possible loan deal; however, the substantial investment in Sadiq's transfer complicates any potential move. Real Sociedad may consider selling him to recover part of the investment.
