Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is said to be ready to end his career at Stamford Bridge, when he aims to move to Newcastle in the final phase of the summer transfer.
However, the transfer chance of the Senegal striker seems to depend largely on whether Newcastle conceded and sold Alexander Isak to Liverpool or not.
Telegraph Sport reported on Saturday that the Newcastle Board of Directors informed Isak that he would not be sold this summer and will not be allowed to join Liverpool, which makes the Swedish striker very angry.
Although Liverpool claims that the price of £ 110 million has been rejected Newcastle, will be their only offer, but there is information that the Premier League champion is still finding if they can recruit former Sociedad player, a deal may last until the last day of the transfer. With Isak's contract, there are still three years, the price that Newcastle requires is 150 million pounds, a very definitive move of Chich Chu.
Jackson emerged as an option to consider for Newcastle after they lost Benjamin Sesko when he chose to wear Man United last week for £ 73.7 million. Newcastle was also defeated by Chelsea in the race to win Joao Pedro's signature from Brighton.
Coach Eddie Howe really wants to add players to his striker, when Chelsea is ready to sell Jackson and now, 24 -year -old Senegal accepts that it is best that he should leave to look for more opportunities instead of having to do the third reserve, after Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
The close sources said Jackson told BLD Chelsea that he wanted to leave, the move that the Blues was also ready to accept – and was shown by the player's elimination from the squad for the friendly match at Stamford Bridge with Leverkusen as well as AC Milan. The Senegal striker is also practicing alone.
Although Newcastle is not the only potential choice for Jackson – and it is still unclear whether they will pay the price to get a 24 -year -old star in addition to trying to keep Isak, but that is the choice that this player prefers. However, Chelsea is negotiating with a number of teams in the Premier League and across Europe for the Jackson transfer move.
It is not sure that Jackson will be sold, Chelsea will only consider the transfer if it benefits them and can reach an appropriate agreement. The Blues want to get at least twice the £ 32 million they paid to sign a contract with Jackson from Villarreal in 2023.
