The valuation has been met and the documents are already on my desk. Chelsea is no longer just a club; it’s now the richest sporting empire in history,” A leaked email from a top Board executive confirms that the ‘Todd Boehly’ era is over and a total takeover is imminent!
Chelsea are weighing up a potential move to sell Nicolas Jackson this summer, with AC Milan and several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on the striker.
Manager Enzo Maresca has bolstered his attacking ranks this summer by bringing in Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Joao Pedro — the last of whom made an immediate impression by scoring twice on his debut in a 2-0 Club World Cup semi-final victory over Fluminense. These additions look set to trigger departures, with Noni Madueke also on the verge of joining Arsenal.
Jackson appears to be next in line to leave. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has indicated a deal is possible, with AC Milan having already made contact about the Senegalese forward, though they currently fall short of Chelsea’s valuation. Back in England, Manchester United and Aston Villa have also been linked with Jackson in recent months, and Villa manager Unai Emery has a prior working relationship with the player from their time together at Villarreal.
The 24-year-old has found the net 31 times in 80 outings for Chelsea since arriving from Villarreal in 2023 for £32 million — a decent return, though he has drawn criticism for profligacy in front of goal and a lack of discipline. He was sent off in a key Premier League clash against Newcastle last season for a reckless elbow, and picked up another red card during the Club World Cup against Flamengo.
Chelsea would need a fee that represents a clear profit on their original investment before agreeing to let him go.
