BREAKING NEWS: Fabrizio Romano says £100m striker keen to join Man Utd with contact made
Nicolas Jackson will be one to watch in the final month of the summer transfer window after links to Manchester United.
His situation at Chelsea remains open; he’s not out of the project or guaranteed exit this summer, but there’s a strong chance for Jackson to leave as Chelsea are open to doing business on their terms.
Sources reveal that in recent days, Manchester United have been approached with the opportunity to proceed and start talks for Nicolas Jackson.
He’s been offered as one of the chances for Man United to add a new striker as the next main priority for Ruben Amorim after Mbeumo and Cunha, so Chelsea have opened their doors to United.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Chelsea still maintain an interest in Alejandro Garnacho as an option in case Manchester United want to open a proper negotiation for Nicolas Jackson; the message has been received at Carrington, as United are aware of Chelsea’s potential interest in Garnacho and they are open to discussing conditions of a swap deal involving Nicolas Jackson.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Nicolas Jackson has scored 31 goals in 80 matches for Chelsea.
At this stage of the window, Manchester United are not proceeding with an official bid for Jackson because they’re still assessing the main candidates for the striker position internally.
Benjamin Sesko, Jackson, and Ollie Watkins are all options being considered after other strikers – including Dusan Vlahovic – were offered two weeks ago.
No decision has been made, and this is why the deal for Jackson – who has been valued at £100m according to reports in England – has not advanced at all at this stage.
Chelsea are open to doing business though, and sources reveal to GIVEMESPORT that Nicolas Jackson also would not close his doors to a move to Manchester United even without Champions League or European football next season.
The priority for Jackson would be to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place, but if it isn’t possible, United would be considered as a good option.
It’s up to the club now. The scenario is finally clear.
