The txuri urdin group calmly meditates the two possible options
After confirming the worst omens regarding the injury of Umar Sadikthe Real society consider two possible lines of action. On the one hand, go to the market, since it is a long-term decline. On the other hand, relying on the three strikers on the squad, four if we put a Oyarzabal who will be back soon.
It doesn’t end to have the fortune that the set is needed Imanol. After selling brilliantly to Isaac, Umar Sadiq He arrived as a star signing of the Real society. Idyllic debut with a goal against Atletico Madrid and later victory at Old Trafford against Man Utd. Now, the footballer will be out for the entire season. The Real society has solutions at home, but there are also other options.
Replace Umar Sadiq with guarantees
With the money received from the million-dollar sale of Isak, Real Sociedad completed the signings of Umar Sadiq and Sorloth. But in addition, he also has two other players who could act as a striker. One of them is Carlos Fernández, who, like Sadiq, also suffered a major knee injury shortly after arriving at the San Sebastian team.
Who could also take his place is the young Karrikaburu, youth squad of the club in which they have high hopes. Now his time could come, although without forgetting that Mikel Oyarzabal, team leader, is getting closer to returning from his important knee injury.
Options in the market
In the event that Umar Sadiq’s injury is long-lasting, the San Sebastian club could go to the market in search of a substitute. In this case, one of those who could arrive at a low cost is Mariano, a Real Madrid striker who does not fit into Ancelotti’s plans. However, the main problem is his salary.
Except for surprise, Sorloth, Karrikaburu and Carlos Fernández will be in charge of replacing Umar Sadiq. But one last surprise in the form of a transfer cannot be ruled out, since at the moment Real Sociedad has enough liquidity to get a new player. But before that we have to wait to see the extent of Umar Sadiq’s injury, which has fans on edge.
