A social media user has taken a swipe at Kelechi Iheanacho, advising the Super Eagles forward to hang up his boots following the termination of his contract by Spanish side Sevilla.

The advice from the fan comes after Sevilla announced they have parted ways with the forward.

In a post on X, the Spanish La Liga club announced the decision on Monday, thanking the Super Eagles striker for his efforts in a short statement: “An agreement has been reached with Kelechi Iheanacho to rescind his contract. Best of luck for the future, Senior Man,” the club wrote on X.

Iheanacho joined Sevilla in the summer of 2024 from Leicester City but struggled to make an impact at the La Liga side.

Despite high expectations, the 28-year-old managed only a handful of appearances and scored just three goals and was loaned to Middlesbrough in January.

Sevilla had initially signed Iheanacho to bolster their attack after a challenging season, but he was unable to cement his place in the starting line-up, which ultimately led to his contract termination.

While Sevilla’s announcement was brief and respectful, reactions among Nigerian fans were anything but mild.

One supporter, identified as Val Chekwas, posted a sharp dig on X, writing: “You can’t cheat nature. Come and rest, senior man.”

The comment was widely interpreted as a suggestion that Iheanacho’s age has caught up with him. Although Iheanacho is officially 28, critics have often questioned whether his physical decline is coming earlier than expected.

This remark quickly sparked debate, with some fans agreeing and arguing that the Super Eagles striker should consider winding down his career, rather than seeking a new club.
