Fenerbahçe SK are preparing a renewed attempt to sign Nicolas Jackson next summer after the Senegal striker declined an approach during the winter transfer window, keeping alive the Turkish club’s pursuit of a forward they see as central to their future attack.
The Istanbul side made contact with Jackson earlier this year and organised a face to face meeting in an effort to convince him to move.
The 24 year old instead chose to remain focused on his current campaign in Germany, where he is spending the season on loan.
Despite that setback, Turkish reports indicate Fenerbahçe’s leadership has already begun planning a fresh summer offensive to revive the deal.
Jackson is presently contracted to Chelsea FC but is playing on loan at FC Bayern Munich. The situation surrounding his long term future remains uncertain.
Bayern are not expected to activate a permanent purchase option, while Chelsea — who tied the striker down until June 2033 after signing him from Villarreal CF for €37m in 2023 — are also not believed to see him as part of their forward planning.
That contractual backdrop leaves room for negotiation, although any agreement is likely to be complex.
Fenerbahçe are understood to be exploring the possibility of another loan structure, potentially sweetened by favourable personal terms designed to appeal to the player.
Club officials remain optimistic that Jackson’s situation and continued European interest could create an opening when the market reopens.
On the pitch, the Senegal international has featured 15 times in the Bundesliga this season, accumulating 445 minutes and scoring three goals.
While not a guaranteed starter, his profile — pace, movement and finishing — continues to attract attention from clubs seeking attacking reinforcement.
All signs point to Fenerbahçe returning to the table in the 2026 summer window, determined to revisit discussions and strengthen their forward line ahead of the 2026 27 campaign.
Whether Jackson’s club situation shifts enough to enable a deal will be a key storyline as negotiations approach.
