Chidera Ejuke, a 28-year-old winger for Sevilla FC, has gone from being on the transfer list to having more options to stay at Nervión during the 2026/27 season. Luis García Plaza turned to the Nigerian against Rayo Vallecano, and the club has not yet received an offer that justifies his sale before the transfer window closes.

This does not mean that Sevilla has definitively closed the door on a transfer. Ejuke's contract expires on June 30, 2027, making this summer the last opportunity for the club to earn a significant amount without facing his final contractual year. His current market value is 4 million euros.

Chidera Ejuke earns space with Luis García Plaza

The most significant sign came in Sevilla FC's debut in LaLiga. Ejuke was included in the squad against Rayo Vallecano, and Luis García Plaza brought him on in the 78th minute, replacing Oso, despite earlier indications that he might leave Sánchez-Pizjuán during much of the preseason.

The situation has changed from the end of July when the club was working on his departure to reduce the wage bill and make room for new signings. There was even consideration for a return to Belgian football, but that option did not materialize into an operation.

Ejuke was not completely discarded from the team dynamics. This difference is significant now that Luis García Plaza needs attacking alternatives: Sevilla has lost Akor Adams, Alexis Sánchez, Neal Maupay, and Adnan Januzaj, among other offensive players, over the summer and is still seeking new signings to complete the squad.

Sevilla FC still contemplates a sale

The contractual situation keeps the market open. Chidera Ejuke arrived as a free agent in July 2024 and signed a three-season deal, leaving only this season remaining before he can negotiate his future freely from January if there is no prior renewal. In recent hours, Sevilla has explored signing Tosin Adarabioyo, a player from Chelsea.

His performance in the past season did not fully establish him as a regular starter. The Nigerian featured in 27 LaLiga matches and two Copa del Rey games, with a record of one goal and one assist. He started in only five games of the league.

Injuries have also impacted his time in Spain. A muscle injury in his first season sidelined him for 81 days, causing him to miss 13 matches, while in the 2025/26 season, he had two physical issues that kept him out for another 26 days.

The market's final stages will determine his future

Sevilla FC still has unfinished business before the transfer window closes. Luis García Plaza aims to add at least two midfielders and three offensive players, a plan influenced by both the squad's available space and the opportunities arising in the closing days.

Therefore, Chidera Ejuke's continuity cannot be considered final. The current scenario favors his stay, and the player has already regained minutes in LaLiga, but an offer allowing Sevilla to earn money and relieve his salary would immediately reopen the door. Without such an offer, Ejuke now has more options to fulfill his final contract year under Luis García Plaza.
