However, Valencia faces a financial dilemma with a clause in the Super Eagles striker’s loan contract that could complicate their efforts to climb out of danger in their next La Liga clash. Sadiq, who joined Valencia on loan from Real Sociedad, has been a crucial addition in their bid for survival. His goal-scoring ability is expected to help the team avoid relegation. However, per reports, a clause in the deal stipulates that if the Nigerian forward plays against his parent club, Valencia would need to pay an additional 300,000 euros (approx. 400 million naira) on top of the 500,000 euros already paid to secure his loan.
