Kelechi Iheanacho’s transfer saga continues: Sevilla and VfB Stuttgart competing for striker

The transfer saga surrounding Kelechi Iheanacho may still have another twist. The Super Eagles striker, who became a free agent this summer after leaving Leicester City, was initially linked with several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Ipswich, and West Ham. However, none of these moves materialized.

Recent reports suggest that Iheanacho was on the verge of joining Sevilla. The 27-year-old forward had reportedly agreed on personal terms with the Spanish club and was scheduled for medical tests this week.

Yet, the deal with Sevilla may not be final just yet. VfB Stuttgart, a German Bundesliga club, has entered the fray. Stuttgart is reportedly offering improved terms to Iheanacho. They are in search of a new striker following the transfer of Serhou Guirassy to Borussia Dortmund.

Stuttgart’s participation in the UEFA Champions League next season might serve as a strong lure, potentially swaying Iheanacho’s decision to choose Germany over Spain.
