Umar Sadiq is on the verge of completing an eye-watering £25million transfer, reports Megasportsarena.com.
The Nigerian international has enjoyed a stunning upturn in fortunes in recent years. The 25-year-old hit a red-hot scoring streak with Serbian side Partizan, and his 23 goals in 52 games earned him a move to Almeria.
His prolific form has continued in Spain, with a stunning return of 41 goals in 81 games, and now he’s set to land the La Liga new boys a record transfer fee.
Villarreal have also expressed an interest in the goalscoring sensation and Almeria chief exec Mohamed El Assy has confirmed his sale is imminent, although he stopped short of revealing Sadiq’s destination.
He said: “Umar Sadiq has not travelled to England to avoid any type of injury that could stop the transfer that is close at the moment.
“He will be sold for just under 30million euros. We have more than 12-13 players who have received offers, they are players who have a name in the market and are expected to have a great future.”
Sadiq has also been heavily linked with a move to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and although speculation last week that a deal was close turned out to be premature, a move hasn’t been ruled out.
