Super Eagles forward Umar Sadiq is set to join German club, Borussia Dortmund on a permanent transfer.
Dortmund are in the market for a new striker after Cameroonian Sebastian Haller was diagnosed with testicular tumour.
The former European champions signed Haller as replacement for Norway international Erling Haaland who has moved to Manchester City.

Haller is now expected to spend several months on the sidelines as a result of the setback.
Dortmund have reportedly agreed a deal for Sadiq, and will pay as much as €30 million including add ons.
The 25-year-old scored 18 goals and recorded 12 assists in 36 league appearances to help Almeria secure promotion to LaLiga last season.
Sadiq has been linked with the likes of Benfica, Villarreal, Sevilla and Valencia this season.

Fantastic move no doubt but what happens to Sadiq’s position as the first choice striker when Haller is well and back in the team?
If he is able to score goals and continue to maintain a good form, he will displace Haller
It all depends on who does better after his return because Haller will definitely get a look in.
Haller is a better goalscorer and he’s well experienced playing for both club and country.
If Fabrizio Romano is not reporting it. it’s fake news. and this rumour came first from Own Goal Nigeria so it is definitely fake news. from all accounts out of favour Memphis Depay of Barca is who Borussia Dortmund is chasing.
I think to a large extent complete sports reports are genuine.
They take time to verify news before posting unlike own goal and other sports website in Nigeria.

Ever getting close but never licking the honey. May you not end up like Paul Onuachu. May your story be different
Sebastian haller is an ivorian not a cameroonian
Sadiq must improve to make himself and Nigerians proud. He must be ruthless in front of Goal this is my humble admission should this transfer go through.

Fabrizio Romano has spoken. “No Move made by dortmund for Umar” Nigerian Media outlets are a bunch of decieving bag of rice. Mtchewww
Nigeria media are used to spreading rumours. Sadiq is more likely to be bought by Villarreal.
Wish you the best
