Getafe is set to make Umar Sadiq a top target as the transfer window approaches. The Nigerian forward, who was highly touted when he signed for the San Sebastian-based club, has flashed the ability to cause trouble for defenses.
But injuries have prevented him from being consistent, and several La Liga sides have been watching him, with Getafe under manager José Bordalás being the most keenest to get him.
Bordalás wants Sadiq for tactical fit.
Umar Sadiq is a perfect fit for Getafe’s physical, counterattacking approach, says Bordalás, who is known for his intense, high-pressing style.
Sadiq’s blend of speed and strength means he would be the perfect man to add to Getafe’s offensive transitions.
Sadiq’s La Liga experience and goal-scoring ability could be the sort of firepower that will take Getafe’s attack to the next level in moments that demand air superiority and quick counterattacks.

Negotiations Ahead Challenging
Getafe’s interest in the Nigerian is very strong, but buying Sadiq from Real Sociedad will not be easy. Sadiq has been valued by the Basque club, and they won’t be keen on selling him without the right offer.
Fichajes reports negotiations will have to be kept on a tight leash to lure both Real Sociedad and the player himself.
If Getafe are successful, they could be able to add high-quality reinforcement to their campaign in the second half of the season.
