According to "Every Sport", Valencia continues to make forward signings as the top priority, and Sadiq is still the first choice, but negotiations with Real Sociedad are slow, and the club's alternative is Monaco striker Buadu.
According to the famous British journalist Ben Jacobs, Valencia is interested in Monaco striker Buadu. The player was not under Monaco's plan and was loaned to Bochum last season, performing well and scoring 9 goals. Buadu reportedly received not only Valencia's attention but also Genoa's interest, and he was open to both clubs. Despite this, Sadiq is still Valencia's first choice.
Boadu, 24, failed to gain a foothold in Monaco and had only one year left in the contract, so Monaco was willing to let him go through a transfer. Buadu performed well in Alkmaar, scoring 35 goals and contributing 9 assists in 75 games. He is a fast and mobile forward. Now, after successfully loaning in Germany, he hopes to restart his career outside Monaco.
In terms of signings, Sadik is the first choice for Valencia's forward position, but the club is also considering other alternatives. Currently, Sadiq's transfer negotiations are like a complicated chess game, with the main competitors being Valencia and Real Sociedad. In addition, Girona and Herrera are also paying attention to this situation.
At present, Real Sociedad is more inclined to sell Sadiq directly, and Girona's joining makes them more confident in completing a permanent transfer. At the same time, Real Sociedad intends to sign Herrera, which also leads them to think that Sadiq is a valuable bargaining chip.
However, Sadiq himself hopes to join Valencia, which is the main reason why the deal is still possible. Valencia's loan conditions did not meet the requirements of Real Sociedad. They would rather give Sadiq a freedom than lend him out on such low conditions.
