Nigeria's Kelechi Iheanacho could be on his way out at Sevilla

Signed as a replacement for Youssef En-Nesyri, who departed for Fenerbahce, Iheanacho's contract with Sevilla runs until the end of the 2025-2026 season. However, his impact on the pitch has been minimal so far.

In La Liga, the Nigerian international has made just one start in the last eight games, accumulating 356 minutes without scoring.

Despite his struggles in the league, he has shown glimpses of his quality in the Copa del Rey, netting three goals in two matches against lower-tier opponents.

His recent cameo appearance during Sevilla's 4-3 loss to Atletico de Madrid - coming on in the second minute of stoppage time - highlighted his lack of consistent involvement.

Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta acknowledged the situation, admitting that Iheanacho is not getting the opportunities he deserves, but cited strong performances from other players as the reason for his limited role.

The club is reportedly considering allowing him to leave in the upcoming winter transfer window if a suitable offer arises, though they are open to retaining him should no strong bids or new signings materialise.
