Chelsea to make Nicolas Jackson decision after pre-season

09 July 2026 - 21:21

Chelsea will decide on the future of striker Nicolas Jackson following the pre-season campaign.

  • Man Utd planning for another midfielder after Santos
  • Chelsea to sign new midfielder after Andrey Santos sale


  • The Senegal international fell out of favour at the Blues last summer, and he was loaned out to Bayern Munich.

    The former Villarreal man fared well with 10 goals in all competitions. He was largely a backup for Harry Kane.

    Jackson will soon report for pre-season training with the Blues, and he is expected to be closely monitored by new manager Xabi Alonso.

    Alonso is prepared to play Jackson in pre-season friendlies, and the Spaniard will then make a judgement over the striker's future.

    There is no shortage of interest in the Blues striker. A number of clubs in Serie A and La Liga are monitoring the highly-rated forward.

    Inter Milan and Juventus are among the main suitors. Both have made contact with his entourage, but have not discussed terms with Chelsea.

    Chelsea are expected to demand at least £40m if they decide to sell him.
