Nigerian striker Akor Adams is en route to Italy to complete his transfer from Sevilla to Venezia. The deal, valued at approximately €16.8 million fixed plus €6.7 million in variables, was finalized after negotiations between Venezia's sporting director and Sevilla's management. Adams, who joined Sevilla from Montpellier in January 2025, played only four matches that season due to injury but returned to score 10 goals in 33 appearances last season, helping the team avoid relegation. Sevilla originally paid €5.5 million for him, so the sale generates a significant capital gain to ease the club's financial constraints. Sevilla's sporting director now must find reinforcements for a forward line that currently includes only Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir, the latter being sought for a transfer.

Akor Adams is traveling to Italy to complete his transfer to Venezia.

Akor Adams is traveling to Italy at this hour to become a new player for Venezia. After several days of intense negotiations—including a visit by the Venetian club's sporting director to Sevilla to meet directly with Nervión's sports management—the agreement has been finalized. Only the usual bureaucratic procedures, medical tests, and contract signing remain.

With the deal practically complete, Adams did not travel with his Sevilla teammates to Poland for last weekend's friendly match. Today, he has set course for his new destination in a transfer valued—pending official figures from both clubs—at approximately €16.8 million fixed and €6.7 million in variables, half of which are easily achievable, as reported by ABC and confirmed by MARCA.

This marks the end of the burly striker's time at Nervión, where he leaves a positive impression despite spending only a season and a half with the club.

Adams' Time at Sevilla

Arrival: Akor joined Sevilla from Montpellier in the winter transfer window of the 2024-25 season.
First Season: He played only four matches due to injury.
Last Season: He featured in 33 games (22 as a starter), scoring 10 goals and playing a decisive role in the team's survival in La Liga.
Africa Cup of Nations: Despite being sidelined for over a month due to the tournament, he accelerated his return and was key with goals that helped García Plaza's men secure their top-flight status.

Financial Impact

Since Sevilla paid approximately €5.5 million for Adams' signing, the club generates a significant capital gain from this transfer. This will help address the club's complex economic situation, which affects its salary cap and market flexibility.

What's Next for Sevilla

With Adams' departure, José Ignacio Navarro, the Nervión sporting director, now faces the task of reinforcing the forward line. Currently, only Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir remain—the latter is not training with the group and is being sought a way out.
