Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has dismissed reports linking him with a summer exit from Sevilla, insisting he is happy at the Spanish club and not focused on transfer speculation as the window begins to gather pace, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 26-year-old, who is currently with the Nigeria squad preparing for Wednesday’s friendly against Portugal in Leiria, was responding to reports in Spain suggesting he could be among the players to leave the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán this summer.
Marseille have been identified as the most serious suitors, with the Ligue 1 side reportedly preparing an offer in the region of €18m for the Nigerian, though Sevilla are believed to value him closer to €25m and are in no hurry to sell.
“I have not heard anything about that, but this is the transfer window, and there will always be many rumours,” Adams told Footy-Africa.
“It is not something that is important to me at the moment. I have a contract with Sevilla, and we have just come through a difficult season, so now is not really the time to focus on such things. It all depends on what happens, but I am happy at Sevilla. Rumours are part of football, but it is not something I am thinking about right now.”
Adams arrived at Sevilla from Montpellier in January and endured a difficult first half-season, failing to score or register an assist in his opening months at the club.
The 2025/26 campaign, however, told an entirely different story. The forward finished the season with 10 goals and three assists in 32 appearances, playing a central role in keeping Sevilla in La Liga and establishing himself as one of the more consistent performers in a side that spent much of the season fighting for survival.
That turnaround attracted attention from clubs in England, Saudi Arabia and France.
Marseille, who are targeting a serious title challenge next season, have identified Adams as a priority signing for their summer rebuild. His previous experience in French football with Montpellier is seen as an advantage, reducing the adjustment period that would come with a move from outside Ligue 1.
La Liga’s strict financial regulations add a layer of complexity to Sevilla’s position. The club are required to generate significant revenue from player sales before they can register new signings, a constraint that could ultimately force a compromise if the right bid arrives. For now, Adams remains focused on his international duties, with Sevilla showing no urgency to move him on.
