Chelsea have reached a personal agreement with Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson ahead of a transfer worth 35 million euros.
Chelsea will welcome one more attacking player to the squad. According to reporter David Ornstein, Chelsea have reached a personal agreement with Nicolas Jackson and are in talks with Villarreal about a transfer fee. The 21-year-old is said to have a €35 million release clause. However, Nicolas Jackson’s value is believed to be lower than that so the two clubs are negotiating a reasonable price.
Nicolas Jackson finished the 2022/23 season impressively. He scored 9 goals in Villarreal’s last 8 matches in La Liga. In total, Nicolas Jackson contributed 13 goals and 5 assists in all competitions for Villarreal. Coach Pochettino was impressed with Jackson’s performances and wanted to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
The fact that Jackson is about to land at Chelsea raises doubts about Kai Havertz’s future. The German striker has received interest from Arsenal. Chelsea have rejected Arsenal’s first offer but the Emirates Stadium team certainly will not give up simply.
Chelsea are looking forward to a busy summer transfer window. N’Golo Kante has reached an agreement to move to Al-Ittihad. Meanwhile, Mason Mount received interest from Man United. The “Red Devils” are ready to send another offer for the England international after being rejected by Chelsea earlier. There will also be many other Chelsea players who have to leave after two consecutive heavy-spending transfer windows.
