Sevilla gain Akor Adams advantage as Italian club joins transfer race for striker

Super Eagles striker Akor Adams continues to attract attention from several clubs, following his impressive year for club and country, Soccernet.ng reports.

​The 26-year-old marksman struggled in his first six months in Spain after arriving from Montpellier in France.

However, he found his form last season, especially from January. He formed a ruthless partnership with Victor Osimhen in Nigeria's attack at the Africa Cup of Nations.

​Then, after he returned to his club at the end of AFCON, he contributed ten goals and three assists in 32 appearances to help them avoid relegation.

​This summer, Adams' future has been a big topic at Sevilla, despite him still having three years left on his contract. There is a belief that the club wants to cash in on him due to their financial struggles.

​They value him at €20 million, which is almost quadruple the price they paid for him in January 2025. They intend to secure a profit, reinvest in a cheaper player, and keep the remainder to help them meet La Liga's financial regulations.

​Akor Adams Now Attracting Interest From England, France, and Italy

​Adams has been linked with a transfer to the Premier League, with Sunderland among the clubs rumored to be interested in him.

​French giants Olympique Marseille have also been linked to the former Lillestrom man, but they have been hesitant to commit.

​Now, according to Vamos Sevilla, unnamed Serie A clubs have also shown interest in the Super Eagles star.

​Recall that Sevilla wants €20 million for Adams, but Premier League and Ligue 1 clubs were initially adamant about not paying such a fee.

​Now, with Serie A clubs joining the race, Los Nervionenses are likely to stick to their valuation due to the high demand.

​Meanwhile, the Super Eagles star has never expressed a desire to leave Seville.

​This summer promises to be an interesting one for Adams, but he will definitely prioritize a club where he receives regular playing time.
