Sevilla weigh Adams sale amid growing interest

Sevilla is contemplating the sale of Nigerian striker Akor Adams, as interest from clubs across Europe intensifies. The Spanish side, currently undergoing a significant rebuild under manager Luis Plaza after narrowly avoiding relegation, values the 25-year-old forward at €20 million.

Adams, who joined Sevilla in January 2025, has three years remaining on his contract. However, the club is reportedly open to a transfer to improve its financial standing and comply with La Liga's economic regulations. Sevilla aims to secure a substantial profit, reinvest in a less expensive replacement, and use some of the proceeds to alleviate their financial burden.

Reports suggest that newly promoted Premier League club Sunderland is among those monitoring Adams' situation. Spanish publication Vamos Sevilla also indicates interest from several unnamed Serie A clubs. French giants Olympique Marseille have previously been linked with the former Lillestrom forward, though no concrete move has been made. Interest has also emerged from Saudi Arabia, but Adams is believed to prefer remaining in Europe.

If Sevilla agrees to a sale at their reported €20 million valuation, Adams would become the third-most expensive player sold in the club's history, following Jules Kounde's €50 million move to Barcelona and Diego Carlos' €31 million transfer to Aston Villa. With interest mounting across multiple leagues, Sevilla faces a critical decision regarding whether to retain Adams for their rebuilding project or sanction a lucrative sale to aid their financial recovery.
