Sevilla Terminate Contract of Nigerian Striker Iheanacho

Sevilla FC has mutually terminated the contract of Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, ending his brief and challenging stint in La Liga. Iheanacho, who joined Sevilla in July 2024 from Leicester City, made limited impact with only nine league appearances and three goals before being loaned to Middlesbrough, where he scored once in 15 games amid injury struggles. Now a free agent, Iheanacho is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in the Turkish Süper Lig, Saudi Pro League, and notably Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, where he could reunite with former Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers. At 28, Iheanacho aims to revive his career by securing regular playing time to regain his previous form. The striker had a successful run in England, highlighted by an FA Cup win with Leicester City and a total of 42 Premier League goals. His contract termination comes as the European transfer window closes, leaving him free to negotiate with clubs outside this period.
