AC Milan are considering Nicolas Jackson as a viable target this summer, with significant doubts cast on the Chelsea attacker’s future.
According to Alfredo Pedulla, AC Milan are keen on exploring a move for Nicolas Jackson after the attacker’s Chelsea future was deemed doubtful. A raft of attacking signings at the London club could free up the Senegalese striker, with the Rossoneri pondering over opening talks with the Blues.
Many top clubs will keep close tabs on the situation at Chelsea and some of their highly-rated players. A raft of attacking signings this summer at Stamford Bridge could see the club allow few of their current mainstays to leave, as Arsenal have already agreed a deal for Noni Madueke.
The arrivals of Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap have rendered the future of some of the notable names at the club in doubt. One of those is Nicolas Jackson, with the striker’s camp already exploring different ideas, as a move away from Chelsea is a real possibility.
There’s sufficient interest from clubs in the attacker, as Chelsea are reportedly demanding at least €50 million for the Senegal international. Atletico Madrid held an interest for Nicolas Jackson, while there might be a few from within the Premier League likely to put in an enquiry for the forward.
Barcelona are reportedly considering a loan approach, although Chelsea might prefer to sell him on a permanent deal. The versatile attacker, who will cost around €50 million, now has the attention of AC Milan, who are in the market for a new striker and have names like Victor Boniface on their list of possible targets.
AC Milan are keen on Nicolas Jackson
The €50 million price point for the versatile Chelsea attacker could be a big sign for AC Milan to pursue a deal for Jackson. The Rossoneri have fantastic relations with Chelsea owing to many deals conducted in the recent past. The Serie A giants will hope to use those connections to open talks over a move for Jackson and possibly get a decent discount on the asking price.
Jackson has versatile qualities that will end up helping a lot of top teams in Europe. He will certainly be a top signing for AC Milan, who could open talks with Chelsea. However, should some teams playing in the UEFA Champions League show an interest, the attacker might prefer a switch to those teams, as his transfer saga could be an interesting watch in the coming weeks.
