Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has revealed that Kelechi Iheanacho has been given the freedom to decide his future before the close of the January transfer window.
The Nigeria international is reportedly looking to leave Sevilla after struggling to establish himself as a regular starter since joining the Spanish club last summer.
Softfootball understands that several clubs have shown interest in the experienced forward, with Sevilla prepared to consider either a loan or permanent transfer.
Iheanacho joined the former UEFA Europa League champions as a free agent following his departure from Leicester City, but his time in Spain has not gone according to plan.
The 28-year-old has failed to score in nine LaLiga appearances, although he has found the net three times in the Copa del Rey.
Pimienta confirmed that the striker has received multiple offers and is now considering his options. Pimienta told reporters:
He has many offers and is deciding which is the best option. He has absolute freedom to decide.
The Sevilla boss added that Iheanacho will remain available for selection while he considers his next step.
He will be called up but he has to decide which is his best option.
Iheanacho will now have to make a decision on whether to remain at Sevilla and fight for his place or move elsewhere in search of more regular playing time.
