According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the future of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson could take an unexpected tour this summer, clubs being informed that a loan agreement with a purchase obligation may be possible under certain conditions.
After the signatures of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer, Jackson became a surplus of the club requirements.
The first League giants seek to unload the attacker this summer and even if a number of clubs in England and Italy have shown interest in signing the player, nothing has been materialized so far.
The proposed structure would include loan fees of 10 million pounds sterling, potentially softening the financial burden of interested clubs before engaging in a permanent transfer.
Chelsea set a high -required price for Nicolas Jackson
The Blues initially established a high assessment of 80 million pounds sterling for the 24 -year -old striker, but Jacobs reports that if the figure drops less than 70 million pounds sterling, other clubs could realize realistically in the race.
Among the clubs are currently monitoring the situation, Aston Villa emerges as serious contenders. Unai Emery has already worked with Jackson in Villarreal and he wants to bring the striker to Villa Park to add more depth to his attack options.
Jackson is targeted to compete with Ollie Watkins for a place in the starting line.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United cannot be excluded. They are faced with problems with Alexander Isak who wants to leave the club to move to Liverpool this summer. The player went to Striker to force a move to Anfield and that made the Magpies consider as one of the replacement options of the market.
AC Milan joins English clubs in the race to sign Jackson
Meanwhile, AC Milan has also expressed its interest, keeping an attentive eye on developments when they continue to rebuild their team.
Jackson himself remains a player with enormous potential. His stay in England may not have succeeded, but the attacker was promised by a brilliant future and under the right environment and the right training, he can achieve his potential.
Whether Aston Villa, Newcastle, Milan or another late entrant, it is increasingly clear that the future of Jackson is in Chelsea.
