Marseille targets Sevilla striker Akor Adams with 18 million bid

Olympique Marseille is preparing a serious move to strengthen its attack by targeting Nigerian striker Akor Adams of FC Sevilla.

The 26-year-old former Montpellier player has caught the attention of Marseille recruiters thanks to his powerful profile and proven Ligue 1 experience.

According to Les-Transferts citing Africa Foot, Adams has been selected as a priority for Marseille’s summer transfer window. The Nigerian center-forward remains under contract with the Andalusian club until June 2029, meaning he will not be easy to pry away. Marseille is considering an offer of 18 million euros to open discussions with Sevilla.

Adams delivered impressive numbers this season, compiling 10 goals and 4 assists in 33 appearances across all competitions. With the Nigerian national team, the forward has scored 5 goals in 14 selections, adding further weight to his profile.

The Marseille club could accelerate its attempts in the coming weeks. Adams’ combination of Ligue 1 familiarity, physical strength, and goal-scoring consistency makes him a compelling fit for Marseille’s attacking ambitions. Sevilla will face a serious test if Marseille pushes forward with the proposed 18 million euro bid.
