Senegal Forward tells Chelsea about his desire to leave, with the side of Eddie Howe his preferred destination.
Nicolas Jackson is in favor of moving to Newcastle United when he leaves Chelsea during this transfer window.
However, the chances of the attacker to secure the transfer seem to be largely dependent on whether Newcastle admits and selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
Telegraph Sport reported on Saturday that Isak from the Newcastle Board was told that he is not for sale this summer and was not allowed to go to Liverpool, which made him angry.
But despite the fact that Liverpool said that their range of £ 110 million, which was rejected, would be their only offer, it is clear that Liverpool is still investigating whether they can sign the striker in a Saga that can run until the Deadline Day. With three years to run the contract of Isak, the asking price of Newcastle was £ 150 million.
Jackson emerged as a serious option for Newcastle after they lost Benjamin Sesko when he chose Manchester United for them last week for a £ 73.7 million deal. Newcastle was also defeated by Chelsea to the signature of João Pedro.
Eddie Howe is desperate to add to his forward line, in which Chelsea is willing to sell Jackson and now accepts the 24-year-old that it is best for him to leave.
It is assumed that Jackson Chelsea told that he wants to go – they have agreed to sell – and was left out of the team for the friendly of Friday at Stamford Bridge against Bayer Leverkusen. The Senegal striker has also only trained.
Although Newcastle is not the only potential option for Jackson – and it is still to see whether they would offer him, to keep Isak in addition to trying – it is the one he benefits. However, Chelsea is in conversation with a number of teams in the Premier League and throughout Europe.
It is by no means certain that Jackson will be sold, whereby Chelsea is only considering agreeing to the transfer if it is in their interest and the correct deal can be closed.
They are not desperate to sell him and at least want the £ 32 million they have paid to sign it from Villarreal in 2023. Jackson signed a nine -year contract in September last year.
Jackson has reached double digits for goals in both seasons in Chelsea and has been seen by Premier League clubs as a solid peak option, despite the fact that they do not have the profile of other no 9s in the top flight.
RB Leipzig Enthusiastic at NUGKU RETURN
RB Leipzig wants to re -sign Christopher Nunku as part of the deal to sell Xavi Simons to Chelsea.
Chelsea would like to go to different players, including Nunku – who wants to leave – before she drenched bids to sign Simons and Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
Leipzig has been associated with a movement for Harvey Elliott from Liverpool as Simons are sold. But the Bundesliga club is more interested in investigating whether they can return Nunku and receive cash from Chelsea.
Nunku was sold to Chelsea in June 2023 for £ 52 million. However, the career of the 27-year-old at Stamford Bridge did not start after he was initially impeded by long-term injury.
The International of France has made it clear that he wants to leave before the transfer window closes and sell Chelsea. Leipzig, where he scored 16 times in 25 performances in his last season in the club, would like to take him back.
Chelsea has made an offer for Simons, but knows that there is strong interest and there is a deal between the club about a deal.
The German club appreciates the 22-year-old at nearly £ 60 million, after he had signed him from Paris St-Germain, after a successful loan, for £ 43 million in January.
The structure of the Swap -deal – and in particular how much Cash Leipzig wants for Dutch International – can still be seen. It is also unclear whether Nunku wants to return to his former club.
However, the conversations show that Leipzig is willing to exchange, although they have just sold Benjamin Sesko to United for £ 74 million.
A deal for Simons would not put an end to the interest of Chelsea in Garnacho, although they will try to negotiate the current asking price of United of £ 50 million for the 21-year-old Argentina International, who wants to make the move.
Chelsea has already signed Liam Delap, João Pedro, Jamie Gittens, and brought Willian Estevao in this summer. But they want no fewer than nine players to compete for their attacking positions in the coming season.
Simons works with high -profile agent Ali Barat during a summer movement. Barat has strong ties with Chelsea and has facilitated the transfer from Noni Madueke to Arsenal.
