Juventus contacted the representative of Nicolas Jackson and is considering paying the price to the Chelsea striker this summer.
The Senegal player joined the Blues from Villarreal with a £ 32 million contract two years ago. Nicolas Jackson has shown his great potential for two turbulent years at Stamford Bridge, but he repeatedly missed delicious opportunities.
The arrival of Liam Delap from Ipswich means Jackson will face the increasing competition, Chelsea is also said to want to sign a contract with another striker this summer. The Blues negotiated with Eintracht Frankfurt about striker Hugo Ekitike, before rejecting the price that the German team requested.

Juventus wants to shock Nicolas Jackson. |
However, according to Sky Italia, Chelsea can return to ask to buy Hugo Ekitike if they successfully sell Nicolas Jackson, who is interested by Juventus. Napoli is also said to be monitoring the situation of Jackson but the current Serie A champion considered Liverpool's Darwin Nunez as their top priority.
Jackson apologized after receiving a red card in Chelsea's 1-3 defeat against Flamengo at FIFA Club World Cup. The Senegal striker had to receive a red card directly – just 4 minutes after coming on the bench because he entered the ball violently with Ayrton Lucas.
This is also the second time Jackson has been kicked out of the pitch in the last 4 appearances, before that he was also kicked out of the pitch because of the attack on the forearm of Newcastle Sven Botman in a Premier League match last month.
