Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq has reiterated his desire to stay with LaLiga new boys, Almeria next season.
The 25-year-old played a prominent role as Almeria gained promotion from the Spanish Segunda Division club in the 2021/22 season.
The former Roma striker contributing 30 goals (18 goals, 12 assists) in 36 league games to help Almeria finish champions this term.
It is expected that Sadiq’s name will be top of many clubs’ shopping lists this summer, as it was last year.
Barcelona, Sevilla, and Valencia are some of the Spanish sides previously linked with a move for the Rio Olympics bronze medalist.
English Premier League new money bag, Newcastle also wanted to add Sadiq to their attacking personnel, but the Nigerian has never hidden his desire to stay in Almeria.
“Playing in the First Division is a dream, and I want to do it with Almería,” the former Partizan forward told the media, as per AS
“It is a place where I have found the affection and trust of the coach. I have very tempting offers, but I will stay 100% in Almería.”
With a 60 million euros release clause on his head, it is unlikely that any club will convince Almeria and Sadiq to part company any time soon.
Sadiq is currently with Nigeria for their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Sao Tome and Principe.
