The price tag is €69 million. Nicolas Jackson attracts interest from three clubs
Nicolas Jackson could be on his way out of Chelsea this summer. According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, three clubs are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the Senegalese striker—Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid.
The main stumbling block to a potential transfer remains the player's hefty price tag. Chelsea value Jackson at £60 million, which is roughly €69 million. At this stage, the interested clubs are not ready to meet such financial demands without hesitation.
It seems the London club has no intention of letting their forward go for cheap and expects to secure a significant fee if a deal is struck. As a result, the future of the 25-year-old striker hangs in the balance.

To recap, Jackson moved to England in the summer of 2023 from Villarreal. The London club placed their bet on the young forward, hoping he would become a key figure in their attacking lineup. The Senegalese striker has consistently seen game time, delivering both standout performances and drawing criticism for his finishing.
