Chelsea Make FINAL Decision on Nicolas Jackson — Fans Are Divided!
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge this summer, with top Serie A clubs already showing serious interest.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the 24-year-old Senegal international is no longer considered “untouchable” by Chelsea’s board, sparking early transfer discussions with Juventus and Napoli.
Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023 for a reported fee of €37 million. Since his arrival, he has notched up 30 goals in 80 appearances, but inconsistent performances and recent disciplinary issues have left his future uncertain.
He made headlines again last week after receiving a straight red card just four minutes into his substitute appearance during Chelsea’s 3-1 loss to Flamengo — further clouding his position under manager Enzo Maresca.
🇮🇹 Juventus & Napoli Monitoring Jackson’s Situation
Juventus have already opened preliminary talks with Jackson’s representatives, exploring a potential move as they seek to strengthen their attacking line. However, they are expected to offload Dusan Vlahovic before making any major acquisitions.
Meanwhile, Napoli — though currently focused on targets like Lorenzo Lucca and Darwin Núñez — have also been in touch with Jackson’s camp. While Núñez remains their top priority, Napoli are actively gathering details about the Chelsea forward’s availability and valuation.
Earlier this week, reports indicated that Napoli are prepared to bid over €40 million for Núñez, but Jackson remains a viable alternative if those talks stall.
⚽ What’s Next for Nicolas Jackson?
Though still under contract at Stamford Bridge, Jackson’s future appears increasingly uncertain. With Chelsea open to offers and Serie A giants circling, a transfer could materialize quickly — especially as clubs begin their pre-season rebuilding.
As Chelsea prepare for a new era under Enzo Maresca, moving Jackson may free up funds and squad space for a new marquee forward.
