Sevilla have confirmed the mutual termination of Kelechi Iheanacho’s contract, ending the Nigerian striker’s stay with the La Liga side. The 28-year-old, who signed from Leicester City in 2024, made 11 appearances and scored three goals before being loaned to Middlesbrough in January, where he featured 15 times with one goal and two assists.
Iheanacho returned for preseason but failed to make the matchday squad in Sevilla’s opening three league games, leading to his exit a year before his deal was due to expire. Coach Matías Almeyda had preferred other attacking options this season.
The former Manchester City forward is now a free agent and has been heavily linked with Scottish champions Celtic, who remain keen to bring him in as they seek to strengthen their attack following their Champions League elimination.
