In a surprising development, Sevilla FC have officially reached an agreement with Nigerian international striker Kelechi Iheanacho 🇳🇬 to terminate his contract by mutual consent. The announcement means the forward, affectionately known as “Senior Man”, is now a free agent and eligible to sign for a new club immediately — even though the European transfer window has just closed.

End of a Short Spell in Spain ⚪🟥
Iheanacho joined Sevilla earlier this year with hopes of reigniting his career in La Liga after his time in the English Premier League. However, despite his experience and pedigree, things didn’t quite click for the Nigerian striker in Spain. Limited opportunities and tactical adjustments at the club saw him fall down the pecking order.
Both parties agreed it was in the best interest of the player and the club to part ways, allowing Iheanacho the freedom to find a new home where he can play regularly and showcase his talents. Sevilla thanked him for his professionalism and wished him well in the next stage of his career.
Celtic Eye a Big Move 🍀👀
Already, there are talks underway with Scottish giants Celtic FC. The Hoops are in search of a proven goalscorer to strengthen their attacking options, particularly as they look to dominate domestically and compete strongly in European competitions this season.
For Iheanacho, the move to Scotland could be the perfect chance to rebuild his career in a league that values physicality, pace, and clinical finishing. His Premier League background with Leicester City — where he won the FA Cup 🏆 and Community Shield — adds further weight to Celtic’s interest.
A New Chapter Ahead ✍️⚽
At 27 years old, Kelechi Iheanacho still has plenty of football left in him. Known for his sharp finishing, intelligent positioning, and ability to deliver on the big stage, he remains a dangerous striker when trusted with consistent minutes.
Fans of the Super Eagles 🦅 will be keeping a close eye on where Senior Man lands next, as his form will be crucial ahead of Nigeria’s international fixtures. Celtic’s interest could soon turn into a concrete offer, making this one of the standout free-agent stories to watch in September.
For now, the football world waits to see where Iheanacho will lace up his boots next. One thing is certain — the Senior Man has unfinished business in European football. 🚀🔥
