In a surprising development from Stamford Bridge, Nicolas Jackson is no longer considered “unsellable” by Chelseaβs management. Sources close to the club reveal that if a significant offer arrives, the Blues would seriously consider selling the Senegalese forward. β οΈ
π Whatβs Behind the Decision?
Jackson, while showing flashes of brilliance in his debut season, has also faced criticism for inconsistency in front of goal. With Enzo Maresca reshaping his squad, Chelsea are reportedly aiming to create room for a more clinical No. 9, especially if they push forward in negotiations for other targets.
π₯ Napoli Have Entered the Frame
According to insider sources, Napoli have expressed strong interest in signing Jackson, viewing him as a potential long-term replacement for Victor Osimhen, who is also expected to depart this summer. The Italian side appreciates Jacksonβs physicality, speed, and work rate β traits they believe would thrive in Serie A.
πΈ What Chelsea Want:
The Blues are not actively pushing Jackson out but are open to offers above β¬45-50M.
Funds from his sale could be reinvested in a top striker, such as Alexander Isak or Viktor GyΓΆkeres.
π Jacksonβs Season at a Glance:
Games: 39
Goals: 14
Assists: 5
Yellow Cards: 12 (a point of concern)
β½ With Chelsea looking to elevate their attacking prowess and Napoli planning for the post-Osimhen era, this move could gain momentum quickly.

es on the move this summer.
