Chelsea offer Jackson to three clubs

Chelsea have reportedly offered striker Nicolas Jackson to Newcastle United, Manchester United, and AC Milan, as the club prepares for a possible exit.

Jackson, 24, has led Chelsea’s frontline for the past two seasons but is expected to see reduced playing time following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Consequently, Chelsea are open to selling the Senegalese forward for around £80 million.

A loan move could also be considered, though it would likely include an obligation to buy.

Despite being linked with both Newcastle and Man United, neither side has prioritised a move for Jackson.

Instead, both clubs are locked in a battle to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with Newcastle recently submitting a £70 million-plus-add-ons offer.

The Magpies reportedly want a decision from Sesko within 48 hours and are open to selling Alexander Isak if they land the Slovenian.

United have also entered talks and sent a delegation to Germany last week.

Jackson’s future will likely hinge on where Sesko ends up. AC Milan have also been approached with the option to sign him, and other clubs are expected to make inquiries before the transfer window closes.
