Sevilla considers selling Akor Adams as interest rises

Super Eagles striker Akor Adams is drawing more attention from clubs in Europe. Sevilla is now thinking about selling one of their key attacking players this summer, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

The Spanish team is going through a major change under manager Luis Plaza. They had a tough season where they faced financial issues and just avoided relegation, finishing only three points above the drop zone.

Spanish sports paper AS reports that Adams is one of the players attracting a lot of interest in the transfer market. This comes even though he only joined Sevilla in January 2025.

Adams still has three years left on his contract. But Sevilla is reportedly willing to sell him to improve their financial situation and meet La Liga’s economic rules.

The club is said to value Adams at €20m, which is almost four times what they paid to sign him 18 months ago. Sevilla aims to make a good profit, find a cheaper replacement, and keep some of the money to help with their financial issues.

The 25-year-old has caught the eye of Premier League teams, with newly promoted Sunderland among those watching him closely.

Spanish outlet Vamos Sevilla also says several unnamed Serie A clubs are interested in the striker after his good performances in Spain.

PUNCH Sports Extra earlier reported that French club Olympique Marseille is linked with the former Lillestrom forward. However, the Ligue 1 team has not made any serious move yet.

There is also interest from Saudi Arabia, with clubs there asking about the striker’s availability. But Adams seems to prefer staying in Europe, which could mean he won’t be moving to the Middle East right now.

If Sevilla sells Adams for the reported €20m, he would be the third-most expensive sale in the club’s history. This would be behind Jules Kounde’s €50m transfer to Barcelona and Diego Carlos’ €31m move to Aston Villa.

With interest growing from various leagues, Sevilla now has a big choice. They must decide whether to keep the Nigerian as part of their rebuilding plan or allow a profitable sale that could help their financial recovery.
