Alavés wants Umar Sadiq

Umar Sadiq could be on the move again in Spain. The Nigerian striker from Real Sociedad has caught the eye of Deportivo Alavés, who are in the hunt for a new frontman following the departure of Kike García.

After netting 5 goals in 16 appearances during his loan spell at Valencia last season, Umar Sadiq has proven he still has plenty to offer. At 27, the Nigerian international is eager to find consistency after a mixed stint at Real Sociedad, where first-team opportunities have been limited.

According to Onda Vasca, the Alavés board is seriously considering his arrival. The transfer is seen as financially manageable—a real opportunity for the Vitoria-based club looking to make a statement in the market. Having joined Real Sociedad in 2022 for €20 million from Almería, Sadiq has never truly settled. But his physical attributes and goal-scoring instinct remain highly valued. A new challenge at Mendizorroza could reignite his career.
