The technical hierarchy of Seville has reached an agreement on the future of the Nigeria Kelechi Iheanacho international striker in the club, and a decision has been made to leave the club before the closing of the summer transfer window, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.
Iheanacho caused confusion in the team camp when he arrived for training prior to the season in the best way, and continued to score in the victory over Schalke 04. He made coach Matรญas Almeyda had a change of opinion in his future.
Even the technical director of the Antonio Cordรณn team, who replaced Victor Orta, who signed the Nigerian, supported the idea of having him as a second option behind Jerome Akor due to his performance in before the season.
With a remaining year to run in his agreement, the club was also considering signing another striker in case they obtain a very good proposal for the Nigerian, who spent the second half of last season on loan to Middlesbrough in the English championship after not being able to establish himself in the club.
It seems that they have found one with the Mexican media that reports that Iheanacho is a priority for Pumas of the UNAM. The club sees it as ideal for the attack of your team and wants the agreement to be resolved before the end of this week, with the League in Mexico almost close to starting.
With another year in his contract, he remains to be seen if Iheanacho is happy with this option, since his initial intention was to gain a new opportunity in Seville. Until now, the feeling has been positive, despite the criticisms of certain sectors of Sevilla fans due to some images that have been circulating on their physical condition, which has improved greatly since it arrived due to the work it did in the preseason.
While adding this problem, Antonio Cordรณn is working to bring a goal striker, and the fact that Almeyda occasionally plays with two strikers does not rule out the possibility of another striker if Iheanacho leaves. It could also resort to Alex Costa, who has been signed for the reserve team, but has promised a contract of the first team.
