This action was caught on camera and quickly circulated on social media, leading to widespread criticism.
The intent behind the post remains unclear, but there were speculations it was aimed at Real Sociedad after rumors surfaced about the club no longer requiring his services.
Sadiq later clarified in an apology post that the gesture was a mistake and not directed at anyone.
“Apology for my recent post; it was a post by mistake; I didn’t do it intentionally. I am not referring to something or against anyone,” he wrote. “Thank you for your understanding. Y’all should stay blessed.”
