Chelsea s price tag for Jackson is amazing, and £100 million transfer fee may scare away Serie A big goal

After spending £90 million to sign new strikers Liam Delapp and Joao Pedro, Chelsea is open to the future of team striker Nicholas Jackson, but the price is amazing. They have clearly informed Serie A giant AC Milan that a transfer fee of up to £100 million is required to take the Senegal international away.

With the arrival of Drapp and Pedro, Jackson's position at Chelsea became subtle. Although the club does not rule out the possibility of leaving the team, the premise is that the quotation must be in place. It is this signal that allows AC Milan, who is seeking forward strengthening, to see an opportunity. It is reported that the Ross and Blacks have a strong interest in Jackson and are even described as a "dream" to sign him. However, the sky-high price offered by Chelsea undoubtedly poured cold water on this potential deal.

The Daily Mail took the lead in revealing Chelsea's tough stance: priced at 24-year-old Jackson for £100 million, and the club has no intention of rushing to sell it. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer expert, further interpreted the pricing logic: when Chelsea chased other forward targets, especially Frankfurt's French rising star Hugo Ekitic, the opponent insisted on a 100 million euro price. Ekitic also attracted the attention of Arsenal and Manchester United. Based on this, the Blues believe that Jackson, the main striker in the team, deserves to enjoy the same valuation.

Faced with such a high asking price, AC Milan, with a limited budget, is expected to be difficult to match. Chelsea is more inclined to sell players to internal Premier League buyers. It is reported that several Premier League clubs are paying attention to Jackson's trends.

Review of Jackson's Blues career: Since joining from Villarreal in 2023 for £32 million, he has quickly become the pillar of the front line, representing the team in 81 games in various games, and handing out 30 goals and 12 assists. However, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse recently. Despite starting in the Club World Cup opening game, his appearance pick has been surpassed by new players Drapp and Joao Pedro in the following weeks. To make matters worse, he got a red card for an unnecessary foul against Flamenco, which further worsened his competitive situation.
