Nicolas Jackson is considering his options after Chelsea has signed two Center-Forwards this summer and he has already rejected two movements in the midst of interest from Manchester United
Nicolas Jackson reportedly rejected offers from Italy because he wants to stay in the Premier League, so that Manchester United may be on the photo.
The future of Jackson in Chelsea was questioned after the blues had split a combined £ 85 million to sign Joao Pedro from Brighton and Liam Delap from Ipswich. The two new strikers both made an impression during the Triumphant Club World Cup campaign from Chelsea and Jackson is now considering his options.
It is understood that the Jackson representatives have already met United Chiefs to gauge interest in a potential transfer this summer. United is looking for a center-forward, with Ruben Amorim not convinced by Rasmus Hojlund.
Last season, the Danish striker managed only 10 goals in 52 games in all competitions, with only four of them in the Premier League. He is linked to a move back to the Serie A, where he previously played for Atalanta and surrendered the possibility of a replacement.
United has signed Matheus Cunha, in a £ 62.5 million relocation of Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo, in a £ 71 million deal from Brentford, but still needs a central striker. They have opened a dialogue with Jackson's agent, Ali Barat, and Chelsea would be open to the sale for the right price.
The sun reports that Jackson has a veto on the idea of becoming a member of Napoli or AC Milan in the summer transfer window. The Senegal International does not have the desire to leave the Premier League for Serie A, but there is another potential problem with a move to United.
Although he is in theory to sell, Chelsea reportedly appreciates Jackson about £ 80 million – a prize that United would struggle to tolerate. Although they are close to the matching of outputs for Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, the club still have Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia in their so -called 'Bomb Squad'.
United does not play in European matches in the coming season, which is a serious blow to their finances, and Jackson can simply be outside their price range.
Jackson came to Chelsea for £ 32 million from Villarreal in 2023 and is under contract until June 2033. He contributed 30 goals and 12 assists in 81 games for the club, but fell in the pecking order under Enzo Maresca.
The Chelsea manager was frustrated by his bad discipline, after seeing him sent away twice in his last five games. Jackson stayed on the bench of the replacements for Chelsea's 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the club World Cup final and knows that he is now far from a guaranteed starter.
