Nigerian striker Akor Adams is traveling to Italy to complete his move from Sevilla to Venezia. The transfer is valued at approximately 16.8 million euros fixed plus 6.7 million in variables, with half of the variables easily achievable. Adams arrived at Sevilla from Montpellier in the winter of 2024-25 but was limited to four matches that season due to injury. Last season, he played 33 games (22 starts), scoring 10 goals and helping the team survive in La Liga. Sevilla originally paid around 5.5 million euros for him, so the sale generates a capital gain to improve the club's financial situation. With Adams' departure, Sevilla's forward line now only has Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir, the latter not training with the group and being sought a way out. The club's sporting director is tasked with finding reinforcements.

Akor Adams is en route to Italy to finalize his move to Venezia. After several days of intense negotiations—including a visit from Venezia's sporting director to Sevilla for direct talks with Nervión's management—the agreement has been reached, pending only standard bureaucratic procedures, medical examinations, and contract signing.

With the deal virtually complete, Adams did not travel with his Sevilla teammates to Poland for last weekend's friendly. He departed for his new destination today in a transfer valued at approximately €16.8 million fixed, plus €6.7 million in variables—half of which are considered easily achievable—according to ABC and confirmed by MARCA. Both clubs have yet to release official figures.

The move brings an end to the 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

Arrived from Montpellier during the winter transfer window of the 2024-25 season
Played only four matches that season due to injury
Last season: 33 appearances (22 as a starter), 10 goals
Played a decisive role in the team's La Liga survival
Missed over a month due to the Africa Cup of Nations, but accelerated his return and scored crucial goals that helped García Plaza's side secure top-flight status

Financial Impact

Sevilla originally paid approximately €5.5 million for Adams' signing. His departure generates a capital gain that will help the club address its challenging economic situation, which affects both the salary cap and market flexibility.

Next Steps for Sevilla

José Ignacio Navarro, the Nervión sporting director, must now seek reinforcements for a forward line that currently includes only Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir—the latter not training with the group and being actively sought a way out.
