Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has had two years of ups and downs at Chelsea since moving from Villarreal. However after bringing in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, the Senegalese international is now looking for an exit, with a return to La Liga a possibility.
After signing for €37m in 2023, Jackson has made 81 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 30 goals and giving 12 assists. Yet his inconsistency in front of goal has led to Chelsea seeking alternative options, and Caught Offside say that they have set the asking price at €50m.
The same outlet go on to explain that Barcelona are interested in a potential loan deal for Jackson, and Director of Football Deco is expected to discuss the matter in the coming days. The Catalan giants would be one of the leading contenders for a loan with an option to buy deal, where he would be an alternative to Robert Lewandowski.
For his part, Jackson is set to prefer to remain in the Premier League. Newcastle United could look to him if Alexander Isak moves on, while Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has worked with him in the past. Manchester United are also credited with an interest, although Chelsea are wary of selling to rival teams.
A more appealing option for Chelsea could be a move to Serie A, but Jackson has turned down a move to AC Milan. Napoli have shifted their attention elsewhere, and Juventus have enquired about him.
While Jackson might have been a logical alternative before Marcus Rashford’s arrival last week, a move for the 24-year-old seems highly unlikely. Rashford is slated to play off the left, but it solidifies Ferran Torres’ role through the middle, and unless Barcelona plan to cash in on Torres – and convince him of a move – a move for Jackson would be a strange use of resources.

🤮Imagine proposing a loan deal for a player who got over 42 goals contribution in just 81 games without a penalty. You gotta be joking, the whole Jackson disrespecting trend is really getting out of hand, even Barcelona players with as high as 200m price tag don't have such numbers to them, these number are even less compared to what he offers on the pitch.

You think barca is a small club like yours. Even oshimen, Rasphod is on loan. Who is Jackson. Some Chelsea fans and their bragging.
Comparing your club that hasn't won a European trophy for over a decade to the Champions of the WORLD🌎must be very brave of you. I like your gut, keep it up, brave guy. 🙂↔️I hope u will say the same thing when your club sells the remaining chairs left in your stadium to pay your bills.🤣

Chelsea of this era is far better than Barcelona. Barcelona is unable to make it to go beyond the UCL semi final since 2015, Barcelona was unable to even compete with lower teams in the uel in 2022 while Chelsea won it twice in the past decade. now tell me who is better between historical Barcelona and the present Chelsea? I think you better compare Barca to Juventus because both are now local champions.
