Transfer Update: Elche Eyes Move For Super Eagles Star

Spanish club Elche CF is keen on bolstering its attacking options and has set sights on Super Eagles forward Umar Sadiq, who recently returned to his parent club, Real Sociedad, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Elche views the Nigerian international as a key addition, hoping to tap into the form he showed during his time at Almeria.

While a loan move is on the table, Real Sociedad reportedly prefers a permanent transfer to avoid potential devaluation of the player’s market worth.

Sadiq, whose contract runs until 2028, is inclined to remain in La Liga despite receiving more financially attractive offers from Turkey.

This puts Elche in a favorable position, though they will likely need to propose a convincing package potentially with a mandatory buy clause.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad’s new sporting director, Bretos, is holding out for a firm and acceptable bid before any decision is made.
