Spanish La Liga side Sevilla may be looking to part ways with Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho in the upcoming January transfer window as they seek to reshape their attacking options. According to sources close to the club, Sevilla is considering putting Iheanacho up for sale to create space for a new striker who better fits the team’s tactical needs moving forward.
Iheanacho, who joined Sevilla last summer from Leicester City, has struggled to make a significant impact in La Liga despite showing flashes of his goal-scoring ability. While his work rate and versatility have been appreciated by the coaching staff, Sevilla’s management is reportedly keen on bringing in a more consistent striker to lead the line as the club looks to improve its standing in both domestic and European competitions.
The potential sale of Iheanacho would free up not only a squad spot but also valuable financial resources, allowing Sevilla to invest in a forward who they believe could provide more firepower upfront. Though no specific replacement has been named, it’s clear that the Andalusian club is intent on refreshing its attacking department in a bid to compete more effectively in the second half of the season.

Iheanacho, 27, has had a career marked by bursts of brilliance, particularly during his time in the Premier League with Leicester City, but his adaptation to Spanish football has been slow. Should Sevilla decide to offload him, several clubs across Europe, particularly in England or other top leagues, could be interested in acquiring his services, given his experience and ability to score in crucial moments.
As the January window approaches, all eyes will be on Sevilla’s movements in the market, with Iheanacho’s future hanging in the balance as the club prepares for a potential striker shake-up.
