Saidu made his senior debut with the B's on 12 January 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 Segunda Federación home loss to UD Logroñés. [3] In July, he was called up by manager Gabi to make the pre-season with the first team, and impressed while playing as a centre-back. [4] [5]

Saidu made his professional debut on 23 August 2025, replacing Dani Tasende in a 3–1 Segunda División home loss to FC Andorra. [6]
