Nigerian striker Akor Adams is traveling to Italy to complete his transfer from Sevilla to Venezia. The deal, valued at approximately 16.8 million euros fixed plus 6.7 million in variables, was finalized after negotiations between the clubs. Adams joined Sevilla from Montpellier in the winter of 2024-25 but was limited to four matches due to injury. Last season, he played 33 games, scoring 10 goals and helping Sevilla secure La Liga survival. Sevilla originally paid around 5.5 million euros for Adams, generating a significant capital gain. His departure leaves Sevilla with only Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir as forwards, with Mir's exit also being sought. The transfer helps Sevilla improve their financial situation and salary cap flexibility.

Akor Adams is traveling to Italy at this hour to complete his transfer to 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 routine bureaucratic procedures, medical tests, and the contract signing remain.

With the deal practically done, the footballer did not travel with his Sevilla teammates to Poland for last weekend's friendly match. Today, he has set off for his new destination in a transfer valued—pending official figures from both clubs—at approximately €16.8 million fixed, plus €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.

Akor's Time at Sevilla

Arrival: Joined Sevilla from Montpellier in the winter transfer window of the 2024-25 season.
Injury: Played only four matches that season due to injury.
Last Season: 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: Missed over a month due to the tournament but accelerated his return and contributed key goals that helped García Plaza's men secure top-flight continuity.

Financial Impact

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

What's Next for Sevilla

José Ignacio Navarro, the Nervión sporting director, is now tasked with finding reinforcements for a forward line that currently includes only Isaac Romero and Rafa Mir—the latter not training with the group and for whom an exit is being sought.
