Valencia, Real Sociedad Still Negotiating Umar Sadiq's Deal

Super Eagles Umar Sadiq's potential signing for Valencia is in its most heated moment. The transfer window closes on Monday at 11:59 PM , and Valencia won't wait until then to secure the missing piece in its squad, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced.

Carlos Corberán has publicly admitted that they are looking for a centre forward to complete a competitive team.

Valencia and Real Sociedad have been negotiating the Nigerian striker's loan for two days, but have yet to reach an agreement.

The player's desire is to play at Mestalla, but the San Sebastián-based club is unwilling, at this time, to let him leave without adding a purchase option at the end of the season to his contract.

This is the point that currently needs to be ironed out before Sadiq can don the black and white shirt.

Those around the player are optimistic about his departure to Mestalla, but Aperribay isn't making it easy.

What's clear is that Valencia won't wait much longer because they have other options in the pipeline should Sadiq ultimately not arrive.

The next few hours will be crucial to determining the Nigerian striker's future.
