In January 2005, he joined Sevilla FC in a four 1/2-year deal, his La Liga debut arriving on the 29th, a 0–4 home loss against eventual champions FC Barcelona – the Andalusians did finish sixth and qualified for the UEFA Cup.

In the final of the latter edition, he opened the score against RCD Espanyol, in an eventual penalty shootout win; previously, in late September 2006, he had added a further five years to his link.
Adriano struggled with some injuries during the 2009–10 season, but still contributed with 27 games (no goals) as Sevilla finished fourth and returned to the UEFA Champions League.
