Newcastle United and Bayern Munich are in advanced talks to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea, as the agent of the striker intends to transfer him out.
According to Sacha Tavolieri, Nicolas Jackson could be moving away from Chelsea before the transfer deadline, as a few clubs are closing in on the striker. As things stand, Newcastle United and Bayern Munich are in advanced talks for the Senegal attacker, as the Blues do not view him as part of their plans.
Nicolas Jackson has once again been in the news as his Chelsea future looks in jeopardy with each passing day. The striker is not seen as a part of Enzo Maresca’s plans moving forward, while the Blues have already strengthened their attacking position with strikers like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Chelsea have been demanding a significant asking price for Jackson, and that may have slowed down some of his suitors from making moves for the striker. The Blues are now open to a loan exit should it come with some sort of clause that provides the club with guarantees of remuneration in the future.
Aston Villa were linked with a move of late, but before that, the likes of Newcastle United have been keeping close tabs on his situation as they continue to be embroiled in the Alexander Isak saga. They are probably thinking about selling the Swede if they can get a new striker into the squad before the transfer deadline, and the 24-year-old Chelsea forward is high on their list.
Newcastle United had indicated their readiness to pay a good fee to get the 24-year-old Chelsea forward over the line. As things stand, the Magpies are in advanced talks with the Blues, and face competition from Bayern Munich, who have indicated they might only make a loan move.
Bayern Munich and Newcastle United battle for Nicolas Jackson
Quite unsure why Bayern Munich are in the mix, given they already have Harry Kane to take up the goalscoring mantle. They might view the 24-year-old Chelsea forward as a long-term option in the team, and given the wording of Sacha Tavolieri, they might prefer a loan move for the time being.
With the transfer window shrinking fast, Chelsea will want a clear-cut solution to the future of Jackson, and Newcastle United seems to be pushing to get a deal done. For now, the Magpies, the Bavarians and even Aston Villa are in the mix to get the 24-year-old, as an exit looms large for the Senegal international.
