Umar Sadiq 'wanted' for Sevilla transfer as Rangers flop given huge £52million price tag

Rangers flop Umar Sadiq is reportedly wanted by Sevilla as Almeria slap a huge £52million price tag on his head.

The Nigerian international spent the first half of the 2018-19 season on loan at Ibrox but struggled badly after his move from Roma.

Sadiq had played and scored in Serie A before arriving but managed just four appearances for Steven Gerrard's side.

His final Rangers game came in a losing League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen in which he was booked for an outrageous dive when it seemed easier to score.

Sadiq impressed after moving to Partizan Belgrade though and his goals have Almeria on the verge of promotion to La Liga.

He's hit 12 goals and recorded four assists in 22 league games this season and according to Extra Futbol that's caught the eye of Sevilla sporting director Monchi.

Any deal won't be cheap though, with the promotion chasing side demanding a huge fee.

In Spanish football all players must have a release clause in their contract and Almeria reportedly have no intention of selling Sadiq unless someone activates his.

Diario de Almeria reports that's fixed at €60million (£52m) and could rise to €80m if promotion is achieved.
