Valencia are close to finalising the signing of Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar from Real Sociedad.
Sources close to the negotiation told AS that the deal could be finalised as soon as tomorrow.
After an initial offer from Valencia made before the end of the year was not considered by Real Sociedad, Valencia significantly improved their offer to a point where the club would consider letting Sadiq leave.
The Nigerian player appears not to be in the plans of the new coach, Matarazzo.
The final structure for Sadiq’s arrival at Valencia is still to be determined.
Valencia wanted a loan, but Real Sociedad insisted the agreement include a mandatory purchase option for the summer to avoid repeating the process from last August.
This structure, or a permanent transfer for an amount close to 3 million euros plus variables, is currently being worked on.
