AC Milan have expressed interest in signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, but negotiations are likely to be complicated by the Premier League side’s lofty price tag.
The Senegal striker is among the forwards Milan are considering to strengthen their squad this summer.
However, the financial demands involved have been a concern from the outset.
While Milan were hopeful that their strong relationship with Chelsea might ease talks, recent reports out of England suggest otherwise.
However, reports suggest that Chelsea are unwilling to part ways with the forward for anything less than €110 million — more than double what Milan are prepared to offer.
Sources suggest Milan could be open to negotiating a €50 million deal, potentially structured as a multi-year payment plan or a loan with an option to buy.
Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023 for €37 million. He finished the season with 13 goals and six assists in 36 appearances across all competitions — a solid return for his first campaign in English football.
As it stands, Chelsea appear unwilling to consider a sale, making Milan’s pursuit of the forward increasingly unlikely unless the asking price drops significantly.
