Umar Sadiq targeted by Elche

Elche CF is looking to bolster its attack and has set its sights on Umar Sadiq, who is currently struggling at Real Sociedad. The Franjiverde club sees him as a chance for a fresh start, banking on his prolific past at Almeria.

A loan move is being considered, but Real prefers a permanent transfer to avoid further devaluation. The player, under contract until 2028, favors staying in La Liga despite receiving more lucrative offers from Turkey. This is an advantage for Elche, which will still need to come up with a solid proposal, possibly including a mandatory purchase option.

The new sporting director at Real, Bretos, remains firm. He is waiting for a concrete offer. Meanwhile, Sadiq stays open, hoping to regain playing time and consistency. Negotiations promise to be tense, but Elche hasn’t given up yet. The ball is now in the club executives’ court.
