AC Milan Eye Nicolas Jackson Amid Chelsea Struggles

AC Milan have shown interest in Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, valued at £60 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. Jackson netted only 13 goals last season and has slipped down the pecking order following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Newcastle, Manchester United, Inter, and Napoli are also monitoring his situation.

When the Premier League season kicked off, Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, leaving new manager Enzo Maresca with plenty to think about. While the focus on the pitch is about building chemistry with recent arrivals, off the pitch the club is working hard to finalize its transfer business. Deals for Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho remain pending, mainly because Chelsea have been unable to move on players such as Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.

Nkunku’s exit has been on the cards for some time, but Jackson’s situation developed recently after the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. With both impressing at the Club World Cup, the Senegal striker now finds himself lower in the pecking order. Rated at £60 million, Jackson has attracted interest from AC Milan, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Serie A side, along with several Premier League clubs, are monitoring him closely.

Jackson’s form has been under scrutiny after a disappointing campaign last season, where he managed just 13 goals in all competitions despite leading the line. He was suspended for the Palace clash, allowing Pedro and Delap to debut in the league, though neither could score. His future remains uncertain as interest grows.
