Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke appears to be edging closer to a Sevilla exit after being excluded from the club’s pre-season friendly matches as speculation over his future continues to grow.

Although the Nigerian international has remained involved in first-team training, Sevilla have opted not to include him in their warm-up fixtures ahead of the new campaign.

The decision is widely viewed as an indication that the Spanish club is preparing for his departure before the transfer window closes.

Ejuke has just one year remaining on his current contract, making this summer a crucial period for Sevilla if they hope to receive a transfer fee rather than risk losing him as a free agent next year.

Interest in the 28-year-old has reportedly emerged from several leagues, with clubs in Major League Soccer, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates monitoring his situation.

His experience across Europe and ability to operate on either wing make him an attractive option for teams seeking attacking reinforcements.

The winger joined Sevilla in 2024 after leaving Russian side CSKA Moscow upon the expiration of his contract.

Despite showing flashes of his dribbling ability and creativity, he struggled to establish himself as a regular starter during his time in Spain. Last season, he contributed one goal and one assist in 27 appearances across all competitions.

Sevilla have already sanctioned the departure of another Nigerian player, Akor Adams, who recently completed a move to newly promoted Serie A club Venezia.

Ejuke could now become the latest player to leave as the club reshapes its squad ahead of the new season.

With several clubs reportedly interested in securing his signature, the coming weeks are expected to determine where the talented winger continues his career.
