Spanish giants Sevilla have slapped a €30m price tag on Nigerian forward Akor Adams to ward off aggressive interest from the Saudi Pro League. The 25-year-old striker has seen his market value skyrocket since his €5.5m move from Montpellier just over a year ago.
Much of this valuation surge follows his standout performances at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he cemented his status as a vital component of the Super Eagles’ frontline. According to reports from Fichajes, several wealthy Middle Eastern clubs have placed the striker on their primary transfer shortlists, forcing the Andalusian club to reassess his worth.
Despite the lucrative prospect of a move to Saudi Arabia, Sevilla officials currently prioritize sporting stability over immediate financial gain. The player himself has publicly declared his commitment to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, expressing deep satisfaction with his development in La Liga. However, competing reports from Ficherio suggest that Sevilla’s board remains open to a deal if a suitor meets their significant valuation. As the seven-time Europa League winners navigate a complex financial recovery plan, a massive capital gain on Adams could provide the necessary funds to balance their accounts and pursue tactical reinforcements.
The club continues to scout potential successors in the event that a Saudi club triggers the high asking price before the next registration window. While the management team values the physicality and goal-scoring instincts Adams brings to the squad, they must weigh his long-term potential against the immediate economic benefits of a sale. For now, the Nigerian international remains focused on his domestic campaign in Spain, enjoying the support of a fanbase that has quickly embraced his direct style of play.
Akor Adams addressed the ongoing transfer rumors during a candid interview with Adanimogo FM: “I’m not in a hurry to move. I’m in love with where I am now and they are treating me well.”
