Since his arrival in the summer of 2023 (for around 37M € on a contract until 2031, extended until 2033), Nicolas Jackson has experienced a jet of sawford at Stamford Bridge. If he shone at times – especially with 14 goals in the Premier League in his first season and an active participation in the pressing, underlined by Enzo Maresca as ” Remarkable, with and without balloon – His irregularity has often overshadowed its qualities. In recent times, its ineffectiveness in front of the goal, marked by several matches without scoring and two recent red cards (including one in the World Cup of Clubs against Flamengo), have fueled a feeling of bending.
At the heart of this contrasting observation, the series has watched. After Sky Italiatransalpine cadors like Juventus or Naples closely follow the Senegalese striker and envisage a possible transfer, during a transfer window rich in surprises. It would be an interesting exit door, both for Jackson – in search of regularity – as for Chelsea, which could take advantage of this departure to refresh its workforce. While the Senegalese must quickly reaffirm his role among the Blues, this Italian attention weighs on his future, pointing to a profile still deemed promising but fragile at the highest level. But Italian clubs are not the only ones on the file.
Catalonia opens the doors to Jackson!
While Nicolas Jackson is going through a contrasting period in Chelsea, his profile continues to seduce in Europe. According to information from the Senegalese media TaggedFC Barcelona recently manifested itself to recruit it. The Catalan club would even have started concrete discussions with the player's entourage this week, proof of real interest. In a context where Barça is looking for offensive reinforcements at a lower cost to compensate for its financial difficulties, the Senegalese striker represents a target that is both accessible and promising. Its versatility in attack, its speed and its ability to make differences in small spaces are assets that appeal to the Catalan technical staff.
For his part, Nicolas Jackson does not seem insensitive to this approach. Still according to Taggedthe former of Villarreal is open to a departure from Chelsea, where his holder's place is not guaranteed for next season, especially with the ambitions of renewal under Enzo Maresca. A transfer to La Liga, which he knows well, could relaunch his progression in a tactical framework more favorable to his qualities. Barça, in search of players capable of quickly adapting to his possession game like Nico Wililiams, sees in Jackson a credible option to expand his offensive line and offer a mobile alternative to Robert Lewandowski.
