MU is taking advantage in the race to win the signature of Nicolas Jackson after he refused two major European clubs, but they would have to pay £ 80 million for Chelsea for the deal.
According to The Sun, Jackson refused the attention from the two major teams of Serie A, Napoli and AC Milan to continue to stay in the Premier League playground. The Senegal striker is currently facing a very blind future at Chelsea, when the Blues brought two strikers highly appreciated in the summer market 2025, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
The impressive performance of Delap and especially the great integration from Joao Pedro with new teammates at Chelsea when they crowned the FIFA Club World Cup champion recently made Jackson now just the third choice for the striker position at Stamford Bridge in the 2025/26 season about to start after more than half a month.
Although facing the precarious future at Chelsea, Jackson is a hunted name. In addition to the two newly rejected Serie A teams, MU is also the name that is giving a certain attention in the effort to strengthen the attack when he has ended with Ramus Hojlund.
Jackson still has 7 years in the new contract signed with Chelsea last season. The Blues also did not really want to push this player, when coach Enzo Maresca wanted two players to compete every minute and promote each other to the limit. However, if you receive a reasonable proposal for the former Villarreal player, at about 80 million pounds, the London team may nod in agreement.
The Sun also revealed that MU had a negotiation with Ali Barat – one of Jackson representatives, in order to explore the situation and evaluate the feasibility of the agreement. However, this source also emphasized that the Red Devils can only meet the transfer fee of about 40-45 million pounds, the number is much lower than the request of Chelsea and it is not easy to remove.
Jackson is now returning to his hometown Senegal to stay summer after a long season, but his future will be more clear in the coming weeks.
