Nicolas Jackson Wants Out: Chelsea Ready to Sell as Newcastle Lead the Race

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has officially told the club he wants to leave this summer, and the Blues are open to making it happen.

According to multiple reports, the Senegalese forward has informed manager Enzo Maresca that he sees his future away from Stamford Bridge, just months after signing a long-term contract extension in late 2024. Chelsea have responded by allowing him to train separately, signaling they are prepared to facilitate a transfer.

Asking Price and Interested Clubs

Chelsea initially valued Jackson at £80 million, but sources suggest the club is now willing to accept an offer in the region of £65 million.

Other clubs linked with Jackson include:

AC Milan and Juventus – interested but unlikely to meet Chelsea’s valuation.

Bayern Munich – made an inquiry but not pushing for a deal.
