Nicolas Jackson’s Chelsea journey may be nearing its end, barely a year after his move from Villarreal. Head coach Enzo Maresca has left the door wide open, saying: “When the transfer window is open, anything can happen. That’s also the case for Nico Jackson. We signed two strikers, let’s see.”
Though Jackson hasn’t officially requested a transfer, signs suggest a move could be imminent. Chelsea have floated an £80 million valuation, but are reportedly open to selling for around £60–70 million. Jackson scored 17 goals across all competitions last season, but his fit in Maresca’s evolving system remains unclear.
Newcastle Eye Move, Bayern Enter the Picture
Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Jackson as they assess options in the forward department. While some decision-makers appreciate his Premier League experience, physicality, and long-term upside, the Magpies have yet to make him a top priority. Other targets remain on their radar, and a firm offer is still pending.
The big twist? Bayern Munich have now entered the race. Sky Germany report that Bayern Munich have made direct contact about Jackson’s price, contract, and availability. Their interest is exploratory for now but could heat up fast, depending on how their striker search goes.

Chelsea Open to Business as Offers Expected
Chelsea are not forcing Jackson out but are strategically open to offers. With multiple clubs circling and the summer window heating up, the club is preparing for possible movement in the coming days. Despite bringing in two new forwards, Jackson’s potential exit would still leave a hole in attack, unless a top-tier replacement arrives.
For now, Nicolas Jackson remains committed and professional, yet open-minded about what comes next. Chelsea fans might soon see whether the Senegalese striker stays part of Maresca plans — or begins a new chapter in the Premier League or Bundesliga.
