The future of Nicolas Jackson in Chelsea remains uncertain after the signing sessions of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, since the blues reportedly established their prize for the Senegalese striker
The Liverpool -sports director Richard Hughes tried to sign Nicolas Jackson while he was in charge of transfers in Bournemouth. That movement did not come out, but now the Chelsea Forward can be moving again.
The 24-year-old enjoyed two respectable seasons at Stamford Bridge and scored 31 goals in 80 games in all games. Nevertheless, there has been doubt as to whether Jackson can be the striker to fire Chelsea to the biggest trophies in the game, so that Enzo Maresca will sign Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer.
Jackson saw minimal action during Chelsea's Triumph of the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this month, who was not at all in the quarterfinals against Palmeiras and the final against Paris Saint-Germain, with Joao Pedro, with Joao Pedro the first choice.
With the future of the striker in West -Londs that seem Rocky, the blues set their price to sell the ex -Villarreal man -a cool £ 80 million.
Jackson is interested in clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia, but with eight years on his contract, Chelsea is not busy selling the striker. Among his potential lovers, Manchester United, who is reportedly contacted his agents to make a possible movement sound.
Sky Sports adds that it was Liverpool's £ 79 million £ 79 million with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Hugo Ekitike who acted as a benchmark for the reimbursement that Chelsea requires for Jackson's signature. Jackson's superior target contributions in the past two seasons – in a League blues bosses believe that it is more difficult than the Bundesliga – led them to their assessment.
Jackson has delivered 34 target contributions the last two Premier League seasons, five more than Ekitike's 29 during his entire spell with Frankfurt.
And while the Frenchman will be the new striker of the Reds, Jackson was once a top objective for Hughes during his days as sports director of Bournemouth.
During the Jackson office in Villarreal, he pulled the eye of Hughes who corresponded to a fee of £ 20.3 million to sign for the Spits for the Cherries in January 2023. It was another South Coast Club in Southhampton who seemed to buy Jackson, but did not succeed in the interior of the interior.
A deal looked almost complete after images of the striker who step on board a private jet to the UK to complete the negotiations. However, because of a hamstring injury that was discovered in his medical, Bournemouth chose to cancel the transfer.
Given their position in a relegation struggle, the club did not decide not to wait for Jackson's return of an injury to the cause that they would lose their Premier League status.
That didn't happen either, but the next summer Hughes and Jackson missed West -London instead.
