Manchester United and Aston Villa explore move for the striker as Chelsea open door to transfer — but only at premium price.
Chelsea have slapped a £100 million valuation on striker Nicolas Jackson, according to multiple reports including The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano. While Jackson remains admired by new manager Enzo Maresca, the club is willing to negotiate should a serious offer come in. Interest is growing across the Premier League, with Man United and Aston Villa now among the clubs in early discussions.
Jackson has reportedly rejected interest from Napoli and AC Milan, preferring to stay in England. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s summer business — bringing in João Pedro and Liam Delap — has raised questions over the Senegalese striker’s future role at the club.
🗣️ “Jackson is seen as important — but only if a top bid arrives,” says Fabrizio Romano.
