Sevilla have rejected an offer worth €10m from newly promoted Serie A side Venezia for Super Eagles forward Akor Adams, with the Spanish club holding out for a fee in the region of €25m for the Nigerian striker, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Adams, 26, joined Sevilla from Montpellier during the January 2025 transfer window and gradually established himself as one of the club’s key attackers after an initial settling-in period. He finished the season with 10 La Liga goals, including two match-winning strikes in Sevilla’s final four league games, contributions that proved decisive in helping the club avoid relegation and retain their top-flight status.
Those performances have attracted interest from multiple clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, including sides in the Premier League, France, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Venezia, who are preparing for their return to Serie A following promotion, identified Adams as one of their priority attacking targets as they look to avoid an immediate return to Serie B. They have also explored a move for Nigeria-eligible forward Gift Orban as part of their efforts to reinforce the squad, but Sevilla’s rejection of their €10m proposal signals that a substantially improved bid will be required.
