A few days ago, Youssef En-Nesiry became the biggest transfer in the history of Turkish football, joining Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce. However, the departure of their starting forward didn’t disturb Sevilla, which had already found the Morrocan’s successor – another African forward, Kelechi Iheanacho.🚨🇳🇬 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Sevilla are on the verge of signing Kelechi Iheanacho (27) on a free transfer, reports @Plettigoal! ✨ pic.twitter.com/jh2X1MdhK7— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) July 27, 2024 The Nigerian’s contract with Leicester City, where he spent the past seven years, expired on the first day of July, and he is currently a free agent, which also suits Sevilla perfectly. According to Sky Sport, the contact between the player and the club has already been made, with the forward being very close to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. The same source adds that Iheanacho will travel to Spain and undergo the medicals next week.En-Nesyri is the biggest deal in Turkish football historyThe 27-year-old joined Leicester in 2017 from Man City in a transfer worth 27 million euros. He played 232 games for the Foxes, noting 61 goals and 34 assists. Last season was not so productive for the Nigerian, given that he netted only six times in 26 appearances. However, at Sevilla, they are ready to bet on Iheanacho and try to wake up his goal-scoring instinct.On the other hand, this would be the player’s first club outside England, and he would have to adapt quickly to the playing style in La Liga and life in Spain. Allegedly, several other parties are interested in Iheanacho, but the Spanish side seems like the most serious option since the negotiations are already at an advanced stage.##NAJAVA_MECA_8238514##
