The former AS Roma of Italy, Glasgow Rangers of Scotland and Partizan Belgrade of Serbia hitman will now have to redouble his efforts with Almeria and hope that they gain promotion to the top-flight. Should Almeria eventually gain promotion to LaLiga, the 24-year-old Sadiq will break several transfer records with a staggering 80 million Euro, as Bayern Munich are willing to pay as much as 60 million Euro and the club stand to make 20 million extra should they gain promotion. Although the club have also confessed that they would rather hold unto the Rio 2016 Olympic Games bronze medalist for another season, considering that his current contract runs until June 30, 2025, they may well have to sell him for only 30 million Euro if they fail to gain promotion. There are at least nine rounds of matches still to be played and, although Almeria have slipped to third on the table, they remain in the promotion playoffs bracket, five points behind second-placed Real Mallorca, who occupy the other automatic slot along with log leaders, Espanyol.
