Whopping £100M fee wanted as Chelsea hold talks over striker!

There has been some stunning reports in the media which have claimed that CHELSEA and Manchester United have talks over a possible deal for Nicolas Jackson, as the striker is seemingly a player that the club no longer want.

Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options this summer with a £30 million deal to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and a £60m move for Joao Pedro from Brighton last month, and there is talk that they will continue their summer of spending.

Delap scored his first Chelsea goal against ES Tunis in the Club World Cup group stage, while Pedro has made an immediate impact with his impressive displays already in that Blues shirt.

The Athletic report that Jackson is not deemed as ‘untouchable’ at Chelsea and could be sold if they receive a high enough offer.

And after suffering their lowest goalscoring tally in Premier League history last season (44), the Red Devils could still look to strengthen their front line by signing Jackson, as per BBC Sport.

Nevertheless, Mail Sport understands Chelsea are in no rush to sell their man and value Jackson at a jaw-dropping £100m.

Amid all the speculation and rumours, reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Manager Enzo Maresca opted for João Pedro and Liam Delap in the Club World Cup, with Jackson limited to his game time

‘Jackson is only 24, so a move could provide a fresh environment to rebuild confidence and form—especially after injury disruptions and joining a club where he’s the focal point—rather than competing with a crowded forward line—might fully unlock his potential.

‘Given Chelsea’s overhaul up front, Jackson’s disciplinary issues, and sustained interest from strong suitors, a summer exit makes sense. He’d secure more minutes, rebuild form, and reignite his trajectory—while CHELSEA potentially cashing in and upgrading their attack.

‘But we are also sure that he would want to stay and fight for his place at the Blues, which could be a mistake.’
