As the transfer window draws to the business end, teams are expected to step up their chase for their targets while some will make plans to hold on to their players even in the eyes of tempting offers.
One name who has been in the news lately is Almeria Nigerian striker Sadiq Umar. The Nigeria international has drawn serious interest from fellow Spanish side Villarreal whose coach Unai Emery wants him to fortify his attack.
Howeve,r the forward who is back in training with Almeria hasn’t made up his mind on leaving the newly promoted side with the love and trust the manager has for him making his decision more difficult. He is not sure he will get same elsewhere.
Although Villarreal’s offer hasn’t been accepted yet but if the lanky forward gives his consent to the move then talks will accelerate between both teams to find an agreement. For now that go ahead from Sadiq is still missing.
As first reported by OwnGoalNigeria.com, he has given his words to the sporting director of Sevilla Monchi that he will prioritize a move to the team if he leaves Almeria in the future. He gave his words after shunning a move to the Andalusian side last summer.
For now, Sevilla need to move at least two players in attack to raise funds and also create space for the signing of the Nigerian. A task that hasn’t been easy so far hence their delay in making an official bid for him.
He is not in a rush to leave Almeria even though he is tempted by the move to Villarreal. Sevilla however holds the keys to one of the tournament he is eager to play in which is the UEFA Champions League. A dilemma it is for the Kaduna raised star.
