In a dramatic and decisive response, Chelsea’s board has reportedly lost patience with Nicolas Jackson, following his reckless red card during the FIFA Club World Cup clash that left the team at a major disadvantage.
🗣️ According to insiders close to the ownership group:
> “We can’t continue to deal with his silly mistakes. We are willing to sell him for half the price we paid—just to get rid of him.”
📉 The Numbers Speak:
Transfer fee paid: ~€37 million from Villarreal
Potential exit price: Chelsea would now accept €18-20 million
Performance concerns: Inconsistency, temperament issues, and poor decision-making in crucial games have hurt the team
⚽️ Why the Drastic Action?
Jackson’s red card wasn’t his first disciplinary issue — with a string of yellow cards and erratic displays, this latest incident was reportedly the final straw for the Chelsea hierarchy, especially under a strict and vision-focused manager like Enzo Maresca.
📌 Board’s Message Is Clear:
This isn’t just about one red card — it’s about accountability, standards, and professionalism. The decision sends a strong message to the entire squad: No player is above the badge.
⚠️ Too Harsh or Justified?
Some fans are praising the bold step:
“This is how you clean a squad and build champions.”
Others worry it’s reactionary:
“He’s young and talented… he needs guidance, not exile.”
🚪 With Napoli and other Serie A clubs reportedly watching closely, a quick exit might now be inevitable.
