Sevilla Open to Selling Super Eagles Striker Akor Adams for €25 Million After AFCON 2025 Breakthrough

Sevilla are reportedly willing to part ways with Super Eagles striker Akor Adams this summer, with the Spanish club’s ongoing financial difficulties accelerating discussions over a potential sale of one of their standout performers from the 2025/26 season.

The 26-year-old Nigerian forward concluded the campaign as Sevilla’s top scorer, contributing ten goals and three assists across 32 first-team appearances. His consistent output was widely credited with helping the Andalusian club avoid relegation, cementing his status as a key figure at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium despite the club’s broader institutional struggles.

Adams’ performances have had a direct impact on his market valuation. According to Transfermarkt, the striker began the season valued at €5 million. A recent database update has seen that figure rise threefold to €15 million — a reflection of both his domestic form and his growing prominence on the international stage.

Having earned his maiden call-up to the Nigeria national team, Adams has established himself as a regular in the squad under head coach Éric Chelle. His involvement with the Super Eagles at AFCON 2025 further raised his profile among European clubs, according to reports.

Despite his importance to the squad, Sevilla’s severe financial constraints are reportedly forcing the club’s hierarchy to consider selling the striker. The former Europa League champions are navigating a difficult period economically and require immediate capital to balance their accounts and register new signings ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

While Sevilla’s directors are understood to be open to formal negotiations, sources suggest the club has no intention of accepting a low-ball offer. Executives are reportedly holding out for a fee in the region of €25 million — a figure that would represent a significant premium above Adams’ current market valuation — before sanctioning any departure.

Interest in the striker is said to be strong across England’s Premier League and France’s Ligue 1, with clubs in both leagues monitoring the situation ahead of the summer transfer window. No specific suitors have been publicly confirmed at this stage.

Sevilla’s willingness to entertain offers for Adams reflects the broader challenges facing a club that was once among Europe’s most decorated sides in continental competition. The seven-time UEFA Europa League winners have endured a turbulent few years off the pitch, and player sales have increasingly become a necessary lever for maintaining financial stability.

With the summer window approaching, Adams’ situation is expected to develop quickly. At 26, the Nigerian international is entering what is typically considered the peak years for a striker, making him an attractive proposition for clubs seeking proven goal-scoring reinforcements at a competitive price point.
