Umar Sadiq left Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers this week.
Well, Umar Sadiq is gone.
The Roma-owned striker leaves Rangers on the back of a very underwhelming loan spell comprising of just three appearances and no goals.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was unable to get a response from him, even when publicly challenging him via the media to improve.
This is Gerrard’s first senior job in management following an illustrious and iconic career, but if rumours are to be believed, the former Rangers flop might be about to play under yet another legendary figure.
The 21-year-old is reportedly [Di Marzio] set to undergo a medical with Serie B side Perugia, who are managed by a certain Alessandro Nesta.
Nesta, a World Cup-winning defender with Italy in 2006, has been coaching the team since May, with the Umbria-based side sitting seventh in a 19-team division.
Being a centre-back, the 42-year-old is unable to personally bring Sadiq’s game to the next level, but hopefully for the striker’s sake he fares better in Serie B than he did in the Premiership.
