Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson, would be ready to end his stay at Stamford Bridge, his goal being to join Newcastle United.
But this transfer only holds a thread, linked to the future of the Newcastle star, Alexander Isak, coveted by Liverpool in one of the most fierce transfer battles in the transfer window.
Chelsea wants to make a big profit on this sale
According to the Telegraph, the leaders of Newcastle told Isak that he would not be sold under any pretext this summer, slamming the door to the interest of Liverpool. This position would have caused the anger of the Swedish international. However, Liverpool, without being discouraged, remains discreetly active behind the scenes. Although their initial offer of 110 million pounds sterling was rejected and presented publicly as their “only offer”, sources in Anfield suggest that the club still studies the means to conclude the agreement before the deadline.
Jackson plans to start
Jackson only appeared in Newcastle's minds after a double blow for his transfer. First, the transfer of Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United. Chelsea then joined João Pedro, leaving Eddie Howe in search of alternatives. Howe was calling for a power reinforcement and sees a major asset in Jackson for his attack. The 24 -year -old Senegalese international has now expressed his wish to leave, and the Blues gave their green light to study the offers.
The absence of Jackson in the friendly match on Friday evening against Bayer Leverkusen was not a coincidence. He did not even appear in the group and trained far from the first team in recent days, which suggests a transfer.
Although Jackson arouses the interest of several Premier League clubs and European clubs, it seems that he has set his sights on St. James' Park. However, Chelsea is not in a hurry to take advantage of the offer and will only let it go if the offer corresponds to its evaluation. The club's management is determined to obtain at least double the 32 million pounds sterling paid to Villarreal in 2023, which means that the contenders will have to pay a large sum. The striker is linked to Stamford Bridge until 2032 after having signed a colossal contract of nine years last September, which means that Chelsea can impose his conditions during the negotiations.
