Sevilla Set to Register Nigerian Striker Following Juanlu Exit

Sevilla Set to Register Nigerian Striker Following Juanlu Exit

Sevilla are preparing to register former Nigeria U20 international Akor Adams for the 2025–26 season after academy graduate Juanlu Sánchez edged closer to a transfer to Napoli. Adams, who arrived during the winter window, endured a disrupted second half of the season due to injury and was unable to make an impact. Now fully fit, he has been involved in all of Sevilla’s pre-season preparations.

The only barrier to his registration has been financial constraints. However, with the imminent sale of Juanlu Sánchez who has reportedly agreed personal terms with Napoli on a contract until 2030 the club will likely free up sufficient funds to complete Adams’s registration, as well as that of three other players.

Once cleared, Adams 25 will be eager to justify the faith placed in him and contribute to Sevilla’s ambitions in La Liga.

Editorial

We see this situation as a pivotal moment for both player and club. For Sevilla, registering Akor Adams signals intent they believe in his recovery and potential contribution. Meanwhile, Adams gains a true lifeline to establish himself in top-flight competition a chance nearly lost to injury setbacks.

We feel that such financial hurdles highlight a broader issue in modern football. Clubs often tread a fine line between nurturing talent and balancing the books. By choosing to register Adams and offload Juanlu, Sevilla are choosing opportunity over expedience a statement of belief in their developmental model.

We urge the coaching unit to capitalise on this moment. Adams should not be treated as a squad filler but embraced as a player with something to prove. With targeted minutes, focused training and clear roles, he could transition from peripheral squad member to reliable option.

We maintain that the outcome is about more than one transfer. It reflects Sevilla’s approach to resilience, investment, and risk. Should Akor flourish, this moment will stand as confirmation of a club calculated enough to support talent even in uncertain times. That registration date may just prove to be a turning point.
