Newcastle is desperate to sign an attacker or two this summer, having accepted the expected departure of Alexander Isak. They have missed a number of targets in recent weeks, which has led them to consider a late move to Nicolas Jackson, who is now on the sidelines of the first team of Chelsea First Team.
Jackson, who has also been linked to Tottenham in recent days, should leave Chelsea before the transfer window is closed, since Joao Pedro and Liam Delap arrived to replace him. But despite this, Chelsea does not intend to sell at a reduced price – for the moment.
Chelsea wants 80 million pounds sterling to sell the target of Newcastle Nicolas Jackson
According to the initiate of football, Pete O’Rourke confirmed that Chelsea currently wanted 80 million pounds sterling for Jackson, although Newcastle could negotiate a lower price in the coming weeks.
“The arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap probably tell you everything you need to know, Maresca keeps the door open so that the International of Senegal can move on. He was linked to Newcastle due to the current difficulties they had to try and bring a higher class attacker this summer.
“Chelsea has been proactive on their expenses in recent weeks, so they will not obstruct Jackson if they get a large offer. But it seems that they hold huge costs of about 80 million pounds sterling. Whether it is too rich for Newcastle or any other club, we will have to wait and see.
“I think that the more we get closer to the end of the window, this price could drop. For Newcastle, it was probably not at the top of their list at the start of the window, but the way things happened, it is high enough on this list now.”
It remains to be seen if Newcastle is making its lead for Jackson, but they will have to do something soon with regard to their attacker (s).
