Sadiq Nears Torino Move: AS Roma Striker Set for Serie A Loan Deal
Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq, currently on the books of AS Roma, is on the cusp of making a move to Italian Serie A side Torino in what appears to be a one-year loan arrangement. This news follows Sadiq’s loan spell at Bologna last season, where his playing time was limited to just seven games due to injuries. Sadiq is now poised to take the next step in his career, with a medical examination scheduled to take place at Torino on Tuesday.
Should the deal be successfully concluded, Sadiq would find himself in the company of Joel Obi, who is already a part of the Torino squad, and become the third Nigerian to don the iconic maroon and blue jersey of the Bulls.
As the impending move unfolds, Sadiq is set to serve as the second-choice striker for Torino, providing support to last season’s Serie A third-highest scorer, Andrea Belotti, who made an indelible mark with 26 goals and seven assists to his name.
The transfer appears to have long-term implications, as per information found on Gianluca Di Marzio’s official website. It is suggested that Sadiq will ultimately make a permanent switch to Torino next summer, with a transfer fee expected to fall in the region of €6 million.
This development signifies a significant step in Sadiq’s career and an exciting addition to the Serie A landscape. Football enthusiasts around the world will be keenly following the progress of this promising Nigerian striker as he embarks on his new journey with Torino.
