Mohamed El-Assy the General Manager of newly promoted La Liga side Almeria has opened up on the amount it will take to price Nigeria international forward Sadiq Umar away from the club.
Sadiq has been linked with a move away from the team after finishing as their top scorer for the second consecutive season at the club. His deal at the club still has three years to run but it does come with a buy out clause.
Almeria were last summer hesitant to discuss his future as they were keen on keeping him to aid their quest for promotion. They did gain promotion and are insisting on the full amount of his buy out clause. Sources close to Sadiq said they would have been open to lowering it if they had failed to gain promotion.
In a chat with OwnGoalNigeria.com, Sadiq confirmed he will be staying at the club following their promotion to the Spanish top flight but El-Assy insist he is available for interested teams only if the clause in his deal which is reportedly €60m is met.
“Sadik ? It depends on the offers, we know what our valuation is”, he told Moviestar when asked about the future of the lanky forward who was signed from Serbian side Partizan Belgrade two seasons ago.
