Senegalese striker Nicholas Jackson informed the Chelsea administration of his desire to leave the club during the current summer transfer window, at a time when the club expressed in preparation to reduce its financial demands to facilitate the deal.
Chelsea reduces Jackson’s evaluation
The Times newspaper reported that the Chelsea administration reduced its evaluation of the player from 80 million pounds to about 52 million, which is almost the same amount that the club received from the sale of Noni Madoyki. This reduction opens the door for clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle United to move towards the attacker.
A decline in the level threatens its main position
Jackson, who joined Villarreal and was the first striker of the team in the last two seasons, scoring 30 goals, witnessed a clear decline in the second half of last season, as it was satisfied with a single goal in his last 15 Premier League matches. With the arrival of Liam Dilab and Joao Pedro in a double deal worth 100 million pounds, his chances of basic formation have become threatened.
Why was Jackson excluded from the last matches?
The Senegalese striker missed the friendly confrontation of Bayer Leverkusen, and his match against Flamingo in the Club World Cup was his last official appearance in the Chelsea shirt after being expelled during it. These indicators reflect his clear desire to have a new experience.
The coach’s position on the player’s future
Italian coach Enzo Marisca avoided commenting on the future of Jackson during a press conference this week, which increased doubts about his exit from the team’s accounts. Although his contract extended until 2033 after its extension last September, it appears that the relationship between the two parties is close to its end.
