Nigeria centre-forward Akor Adams is being linked with a summer move from Sevilla FC to Marseille as the French club assess centre-forward options ahead of next season.
The 26-year-old, who wears the No 9 shirt for the La Liga side, is listed with a market value of €15.00m and is attracting attention despite uncertainty over his contract situation in Spain, with no expiry date publicly recorded. That has fuelled speculation he could yet run down his deal and angle towards a free agent scenario if no agreement is reached.
Adams, born on 29 January 2000 in Kogi State and standing at 1.90m, is viewed as a traditional centre-forward profile, operating through the middle and favouring his right foot. The Transfermarkt data places him in the attacking line as a central striker, a role Marseille have been keen to reinforce. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, marked simply as “?”, underlining that talks – if any – are at an early, speculative stage.
Sevilla signed Adams without a publicised contract end date and have seen his value hold around the €15m mark. He has been involved in La Liga action this term, including Sevilla’s recent league outing against [opponent] on June 17, 2026, a [scoreline] in which Adams led the line and featured in attack, though he was unable to find the net.
With experience in Spain’s top flight and a profile suited to Ligue 1’s physical tempo, a switch to Marseille would represent another step up in profile for the Nigerian. Should the move materialise, it could prove a pivotal juncture in shaping Adams’s career trajectory and reputation as a leading African striker in one of Europe’s major leagues.
