Super Eagles Sadiq Umar has hinted at growing frustration over his uncertain future, as both Real Sociedad and Valencia appear to have shut the door on his services ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Soccernet.ng reports .
The 28-year-old striker, currently holidaying in Nigeria, is under contract with Real Sociedad until 2028. However, the Basque club is no longer keen on retaining him, and a permanent exit now seems inevitable.
Sadiq spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia , where he scored five goals in 16 appearances, helping Los Che steer clear of relegation and finish just outside the top ten. The Nigerian forward won Valencia's goal of the season award.
Despite his impact, Valencia opted against triggering the 10 million buy option included in his loan deal, effectively ending his brief spell at the Mestalla.
