Sadiq completed his medical tests and paperwork demands earlier on Monday before returning to Sweden, where he was waiting for official confirmation.
The Right to Dream Academy graduate leaves Sweden after just 18 months with the Black and Yellow side after signing for them in February 2022.
Sadiq joined Hacken after leaving FC Nordsjaelland where he made just 63 appearances and scored six goals after being promoted from Right to Dream.
The forward has enjoyed a successful time at the Bravida Arena where he guided the club to winning their first league title since their establishment in only his maiden season. He scored 7 goals in 19 appearances en route to the triumph.

Sadiq played his last game for Hacken on Thursday night as they beat Scottish side Aberdeen to secure a play in the group stage of the 2023/24 Europa League.
His brace against Aberdeen took his goal involvement this season to 22 in 24 games across all competitions.
He has scored 20 goals and provided 2 assists in the 2023 campaign.
The Ghanaian scored twice on the night, adding to his goal and assist in the first-leg encounter in Sweden.
Just like the transfer of Christopher Bonsu Baah to KRC Genk, Ghanaian agent, Joe Gyamfi was involved in Sadiq's move to the Netherlands.
The player is expected to join his new teammates and could feature in the club's next league game should he receive clearance.
