Manchester United has held preliminary conversations about a shock for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, according to reports.
The 24-year-old Senegal International arrived two years ago at Stamford Bridge for £ 32 million from Villarreal, but has since fallen in the pecking order after the arrival of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Nevertheless, Mail Sport understands that Chelsea is not in a hurry to sell their husband and sell Jackson on a stunning £ 100 million.
For United to finance such a daring movement, the club should attract a lot of strings with regard to expenditure.
Last month, Ruben Amorim Matheus Cunha added to his attacking ranks – the Brazilian of Wolves signed for £ 62.5 million – set up with Bryan Mbeumo to complete his £ 71 million movement of Brentford every day.
But after having had their lowest goals in the Premier League history last season (44), the Red Devils could still strengthen their front line by signing Jackson, according to BBC Sport.
The precarious financial situation of United is well documented-net as the long-term admiration of Chelsea of Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho's career at United is coming to an end after Amorim had told him to find a new club as a result of his reaction to the bank of the Europa League -defined defeat against Tottenham in May.
Various reports in January claimed that the two clubs were in discussion about a potential Swap deal in which the Argentinian was involved, with Christopher Nunku under the names that were considered for a transition from west to Old Trafford.
Such a prospect can be inflamed again, possibly with extra money thrown into the deal by United.
Ideally, the Red Devils want £ 70 million for Garnacho, just slightly less than Chelsea's appreciation of Jackson.
