Second division Spanish League side Almeria have offered Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar the chance to return back to the club with his future uncertain at Real Sociedad, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
According to La Voz de Almería, the second division side are keen on reuniting with the 28 year old, who scored 43 goals in 84 matches for them, helping them to gain promotion to the Spanish top division.
He joined Real Sociedad for €20m but an unfortunate ACL injury saw him miss the entirety of his first season at the club, and since then he hasn’t found his level leading to his loan deal to Valencia in the second half of last season.
Now back at Sociedad and fully integrated in pre season training, newly promoted Elche want him to bolster their attack, with his six goals in 19 games for Valencia towards the end of last season making him a viable option to teams in Spain.
However he is not entirely convinced by their proposal. The same reason why he decided against the option of joining Turkish side Samsunspor, who were keen alongside another team in the same league in Besiktas.
For now he will continue to train with Real Sociedad pending when an agreement will be reached on his next destination.
