Super Eagles striker Akor Adams is attracting increasing interest from clubs across Europe as Sevilla consider whether to cash in on one of their most valuable attacking assets this summer, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Spanish club are currently undergoing a major rebuild under manager Luis Plaza after a difficult campaign in which they battled financial challenges and narrowly avoided relegation, finishing just three points above the drop zone.
According to Spanish sports daily AS, Adams has emerged as one of the players generating the most attention in the transfer market, despite only joining the club in January 2025.
While the Nigerian still has three years remaining on his contract, Sevilla are reportedly open to a sale as they seek to improve their financial position and comply with La Liga’s economic regulations.
The club are believed to value Adams at €20m, almost four times the fee they paid to sign him 18 months ago. Sevilla’s plan is understood to be to secure a significant profit, recruit a less expensive replacement and retain part of the proceeds to ease their financial burden.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with newly promoted Sunderland reportedly among the clubs monitoring his situation.
Spanish publication Vamos Sevilla also reports that several unnamed Serie A clubs have expressed interest in the striker following his performances in Spain.
PUNCH Sports Extra previously reported that French giants Olympique Marseille have been linked with the former Lillestrom forward, although the Ligue 1 side are yet to make a concrete move.
There has also been interest from Saudi Arabia, with clubs from the Gulf making enquiries about the striker’s availability. However, Adams is believed to favour remaining in Europe, a stance that could rule out a switch to the Middle East for now.
Should Sevilla complete a transfer at their reported €20m valuation, Adams would become the third-most expensive sale in the club’s history, behind Jules Kounde’s €50m move to Barcelona and Diego Carlos’ €31m transfer to Aston Villa.
With interest continuing to grow across multiple leagues, Sevilla now face a key decision on whether to keep the Nigerian as part of their rebuilding project or sanction a lucrative sale that could aid their financial recovery.
