The situation of Kelechi Iheanacho at Sevilla FC has taken an unexpected turn. The Nigerian striker, who arrived at the club in the 2024/2025 season with high expectations, could be on the verge of packing his bags in less than six months. Despite being signed as one of the main "stars" to strengthen the Sevillian attack, his time at the Andalusian club has not met expectations. There were high hopes as he seemed to have the potential to compete for a starting position with Youssef En-Nesyri, but the results have not been the same.

Iheanacho, who came from Leicester City, arrived at Nervión with the star tag, hoping to be a key piece in Francisco Javier García Pimienta's scheme. However, throughout the season, the striker has failed to fully adapt to the team's pace, and his presence in the starting eleven has been scarce. Criticism of his lack of form and inability to make a difference has been constant, leading to uncertainty about his immediate future at Sevilla.

Iheanacho could leave Sevilla FC and has three possible destinations.

Despite his promising signing, Iheanacho's lack of impact at Sevilla has opened the door to a potential transfer or loan in this transfer window. Teams like Panathinaikos from Greece, Watford, and Sheffield United from the Championship have shown interest in signing the striker, aiming to take advantage of the player's situation to add an attacker with experience in European competitions to their squad. These clubs, with different objectives in their respective leagues, see in Iheanacho an opportunity to strengthen their attack and possibly regain the player who shone in the Premier League before coming to Spain.

Iheanacho's departure from Sevilla appears increasingly likely, and everything indicates that the Nigerian striker could be one of the first to leave the club in this winter transfer window. In the meantime, Sevilla will have to continue evaluating their squad situation, as the departure of the striker could signal a desire to adjust their squad and reinforce other positions for the second half of the season.
