There is a potential deal brewing up still for one Chelsea player this summer as Fabrizio Romano reveals his priority.
It’s not just this potential deal that is brewing up right now, there are plenty of stories arising for Chelsea as we approach the latter end of this summer transfer window.
Chelsea seem to be getting closer to signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig and they have been helped there after Leipzig have declared their desire to sign a current Chelsea player, opening the door for a big swap deal to be done this summer.
And one story that caused outrage amongst the fan base yesterday was Chelsea apparently now wanting to sell Trevoh Chalobah over the always injured Wesley Fofana, which really is just madness.
Fabrizio Romano has been on this one with constant reports linking Manchester United to Nicolas Jackson – so something is certainly going on here.
But so far at least, nothing has move on or advanced, and we are yet to hear that Jackson will definitely be leaving the club this summer. However, the Jackson story still has a lot to play out in the next six weeks I feel, for sure.

The transfer expert has written his latest on Jackson and United on GIVEMESPORT this week.
He says:
‘Nicolas Jackson will be one to watch in the final month of the summer transfer window.
‘His situation at Chelsea remains open; he’s not out of the project or guaranteed exit this summer, but there’s a strong chance for Jackson to leave as Chelsea are open to doing business on their terms.
‘Sources reveal that in recent days, Manchester United have been approached with the opportunity to proceed and start talks for Nicolas Jackson.
‘He’s been offered as one of the chances for Man United to add a new striker as the next main priority for Ruben Amorim after Mbeumo and Cunha, so Chelsea have opened their doors to United.
‘According to sources close to the negotiations, Chelsea still maintain an interest in Alejandro Garnacho as an option in case Manchester United want to open a proper negotiation for Nicolas Jackson; the message has been received at Carrington, as United are aware of Chelsea’s potential interest in Garnacho and they are open to discussing conditions of a swap deal involving Nicolas Jackson.
‘Nicolas Jackson also would not close his doors to a move to Manchester United even without Champions League or European football next season.
‘The priority for Jackson would be to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place, but if it isn’t possible, United would be considered as a good option.’
