Spanish La Liga club Sevilla are set for a significant financial windfall this summer should they choose to sell Super Eagles striker Akor Adams.

​The past year has been remarkable for the 26-year-old. He is coming off a stellar season with Los Nervionenses, having registered ten goals and three assists in 32 appearances.

He finished the campaign as the club's top scorer, playing a pivotal role in helping the team avoid relegation.

​Adams also earned his first international call-up during the recently concluded season and has become a regular fixture under Eric Chelle since his debut.

​His brilliance has driven his market value up significantly in recent months. At the start of the campaign, the Super Eagles star was valued at €5 million on Transfermarkt; however, following a recent update, he is now valued at €15 million—tripling his value from this time last year.

Sevilla set to cash in on Akor Adams

​Following his impressive campaign, Adams has attracted interest from clubs across the Premier League and Ligue 1.

​Although he is currently one of the most important players at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Adams has emerged as a top candidate for a transfer.

Unfortunately for Sevilla, they are navigating a difficult financial period and must raise capital to register players for the upcoming season.

​Selling Adams would provide the club with necessary financial leeway, and they are prepared to listen to offers. However, they are expected to demand a fee significantly higher than his €15 million market valuation.

The former Europa League champions will likely seek a fee in the region of €25 million, leaving it to be seen whether potential suitors are willing to meet that asking price.
