Getafe FC is reportedly keen to bolster its squad during the upcoming winter transfer window, with Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq emerging as a key target.
The Spanish club has already entered discussions with Real Sociedad regarding a potential move for the 27-year-old forward.
Sadiq, who has struggled for playing time at Sociedad this season, is believed to be seeking more opportunities on the field.
With just seven La Liga appearances to his name, including only two starts, the Nigerian international has found himself relegated to the bench for much of the campaign.
This limited involvement has led to speculation that a move away from Sociedad could be in the best interests of both the player and the club.
Getafe, led by manager José Bordalás, has reportedly identified Sadiq as a potential reinforcement to strengthen their attacking options.
The Spanish club is said to be in advanced talks with Real Sociedad to secure a six-month loan deal for the striker.
The move could be a welcome opportunity for Sadiq, who has yet to establish himself as a regular starter at Sociedad since his arrival.
A switch to Getafe would allow the Nigerian to showcase his talents and gain more minutes on the pitch, potentially revitalising his career in Spain.
However, Getafe may face competition for Sadiq’s signature. Sevilla FC, another La Liga club, is also reportedly interested in the Nigerian’s profile, adding an extra layer of complexity to the negotiations.
As the winter transfer window approaches, the future of Umar Sadiq remains uncertain, but Getafe’s pursuit of the striker indicates that a change of scenery could be on the horizon for the talented forward.
