Chelsea have already sent Nicolas Jackson transfer terms to Man United

Chelsea have reportedly already made their stance on Nicolas Jackson clear to Manchester United amid interest.

The striker has emerged as a potential candidate to bolster Ruben Amorim's attacking options at Old Trafford. Summer signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro have pushed Jackson down the pecking order.

The 24-year-old, who joined from Villarreal two years ago for £32 million, reportedly fears he has lost the trust of Enzo Maresca. While The Daily Mail claims Chelsea have valued Jackson at a massive £100million, the club are said to be in no rush to sell the Senegal international.

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has highlighted United’s interest as they continue their search for a new attacker this transfer window. So far, only Matheus Cunha has been signed, joining from Wolves for £62.5million.

They also add that the Reds are among a host of Premier League clubs in weighing up a move for Jackson, which is also said to include Aston Villa.

Jackson is also reportedly on AC Milan’s six-man shortlist, with the Italian club said to be 'confident' they can lure him away from Stamford Bridge. Since joining from Villarreal in 2023, Jackson has scored 30 times in 81 appearances.

United currently have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as their striker options, although both have been tentatively linked with potential moves away from the club this summer, while attackers Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are all available for transfer.
