Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has transferred from Sevilla to Serie A club Venezia in a deal worth €16 million, Legit.ng reports. The move marks a significant transfer for the 26-year-old forward, who departs the Spanish club after a series of inconsistent performances.
Venezia, newly promoted to Italy’s top flight, secured Adams’ signature after outbidding initial interest from other European clubs. According to Soccernet.ng, the Italian side initially offered €10 million but ultimately agreed to the final €16 million fee to seal the deal. The report notes that Adams had been linked with multiple clubs during the summer transfer window, but Venezia made the most decisive approach.
The transfer has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerian supporters. While some fans welcome the move as a chance for Adams to revive his career in a competitive league, others question the decision to join a newly promoted side with uncertain stability in Serie A. Adams has yet to issue a public statement on the transfer.
Both Soccernet.ng and Legit.ng confirm the completion of the deal, with Legit.ng citing the €16 million figure as the final transfer value. The Nigerian international is expected to be formally presented by Venezia in the coming days as the club prepares for its upcoming Serie A campaign.
