Nicolas Jackson could be on the move sooner than expected, with his long-term future at Chelsea growing uncertain despite his extended contract.
The Senegal international, who signed from Villarreal last year in a £30 million deal, has caught the attention of Juventus and Napoli, according to Sky Sports.
The 24-year-old striker netted 13 times in 36 appearances across all competitions last season but now finds himself at a crossroads. Chelsea’s recent signing of Liam Delap, along with reported plans to add yet another forward, has prompted rival clubs to closely monitor Jackson’s situation.
His current deal, which runs until June 2033, suggests Chelsea had long-term plans for him, but shifting dynamics in the squad have raised questions. Still, his recent disciplinary record, including two red cards in his last three games, has not deterred interest from abroad.
With more clubs expected to join the race, Jackson’s next move will be closely watched in the coming weeks. For now, his future at Stamford Bridge hangs in the balance.
