Turkish giants Fenerbahce have begun negotiations for the acquisition of Senegal star Nicolas Jackson ahead of the summer transfer window.
Currently on loan at Bayern Munich, Jackson is attracting strong interest from Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, who have already taken concrete steps to secure his signature.
The Istanbul-based club have formally approached Chelsea’s hierarchy to open discussions over a potential transfer — a move that signals clear intent rather than mere speculation.
Unlike previous windows, Chelsea are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Jackson and are not ruling out a permanent sale. This marks a significant shift in stance from the Blues, who had previously preferred temporary exits as they assessed the striker’s long-term role within the squad.
From the player’s side, the message is equally clear. Jackson is keen to settle his future once and for all and has made it known that he has no appetite for another loan spell. Determined to secure stability and regular playing time, the 24-year-old has instructed his agent, Ali Barat, to begin negotiations with Chelsea aimed at facilitating a full transfer away from the club.
Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, have identified Jackson as their primary attacking target ahead of next season. After missing out on a move for Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez, the Turkish Super Lig side have shifted their full focus to the Chelsea forward. Club officials are understood to be fully committed to the pursuit and are prepared to offer Jackson a central role in their sporting project, viewing him as a cornerstone for the team’s attacking rebuild.
Despite a campaign that has seen him rotate between roles, Jackson has made 21 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing five goals and one assist. His performances continue to command respect on the market, with Transfermarkt valuing the Senegalese international at around €45 million.
As talks progress and the summer window approaches, all signs point to a decisive period ahead for Jackson — one that could see him embark on a new chapter away from Chelsea, with Fenerbahçe leading the race for his signature.
