However, convincing Sunderland to part ways with their prized asset will not be straightforward. The Championship promotion winners secured his services from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2025 and gave him a five-year contract running until 2030.
The report claims that Sunderland could demand between €55m and €60m to sanction his departure, with performance-related bonuses and a sell-on percentage also potentially forming part of their demands.
Sadiki has featured regularly this season, starting 11 of his 12 appearances across competitions. He also made 35 appearances last term and has established himself as an important squad member.
Liverpool could certainly benefit from his energy, versatility and ability to win possession. However, it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to meet Sunderland’s valuation when the transfer window opens in January.
