How Sevilla Turned Super Eagles Striker Akor Adams Into a €12m Profit Machine
Sevilla FC signed Akor Adams from Montpellier for just €5 million in January 2025. In 18 months he made 37 appearances, scored 10 goals and earned a starring role for Nigeria at AFCON 2025. The LaLiga side sold Adams to Serie A newcomers Venezia for €17 million plus add-ons. The net €12 million profit helps Sevilla meet strict financial fair play rules ahead of the next season. Scouts had spotted Adams’s aerial power and work rate as perfect for La Liga’s physical style. Immediate inclusion in the starting XI and international exposure boosted his market value across Europe. While some Nigerian fans were surprised by the sale, inside the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán it’s viewed as another flawless execution of Sevilla’s well-known sell-high model.
