Nicolas Jackson has made up his mind. The Senegal international wants to leave Chelsea as early as this summer. After several weeks of reflection and with his sporting situation becoming increasingly uncomfortable, the player has informed the club of his desire for a change of scenery—a decision Chelsea has accepted.

Sidelined from the main squad, Jackson is now training away from the first team as he waits to secure a new destination. Signed by Chelsea in 2023 for around €37 million from Villarreal, Nicolas Jackson tried to live up to expectations with a solid statistical debut season (14 goals, 5 assists in 35 matches). However, his inconsistency and recent struggles in front of goal have led the club to consider other attacking options.

Nicolas Jackson soon to don the colors of another Premier League club?

With competition intensifying—especially following the arrivals of João Pedro and Liam Delap this summer—the Senegalese striker has judged that moving on is the best choice for his career. His decision is now final, and the Blues have no intention of standing in his way. The London club is reportedly ready to sell Nicolas Jackson for a fee estimated between £80 million and £115 million. For his part, the Lion of Teranga is eager to bounce back somewhere he can secure regular playing time and regain his confidence.

Among the interested clubs, Newcastle United appears to be leading the race. The Magpies are looking to bolster their attacking line and see Nicolas Jackson as a promising fit. AC Milan are also keeping a close eye on the situation, while Bayern Munich are reported to have made initial contact. No agreement has been reached yet, but negotiations are accelerating as the transfer window draws to a close.
