Chelsea Sets £100 Million Asking Price for Nicolas Jackson as Serie A Clubs Show Interest

Chelsea has reportedly set a £100 million valuation for forward Nicolas Jackson, amid interest from Serie A giants, particularly AC Milan, who are considering making a move. Jackson, who joined Chelsea two years ago for £32 million from Villarreal, has seen his role at the club diminish recently due to competition and a slump in form.

New signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro have surpassed Jackson in the pecking order, leading to concerns that he has lost the trust of Chelsea’s coach, Enzo Maresca. Jackson’s goal-scoring tally has declined, with only four goals scored since the start of the year, and he has received two red cards in his last five appearances, including matches against Newcastle in the Premier League and Flamengo in the Club World Cup.

Chelsea maintains that they are not in a rush to sell and value Jackson highly, with intentions to hold out for a substantial fee. Despite his challenges on the pitch, Jackson has been praised for his attitude and commitment, contributing 30 goals during his time at Stamford Bridge.

AC Milan, which has a history of transferring players with Chelsea, has expressed interest in bolstering their attack following the departure of Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic. There have been signals from intermediaries suggesting Jackson might be tempted by a move, but the Italian club would likely face a significant financial hurdle if they wish to meet Chelsea’s valuation.
