Chelsea have placed a hefty £100 million price tag on their forward Nicolas Jackson, signaling their reluctance to let the 24-year-old Senegal international leave Stamford Bridge easily. This valuation comes amid growing interest from AC Milan, who have included Jackson on their six-man shortlist for a new center forward.
The Blues’ high asking price reflects their stance that they are in no rush to sell, despite the player’s recent dip in form and his slide down the pecking order following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal for £32 million two years ago, has scored 30 goals in 81 appearances but has struggled with consistency, netting only four goals since the turn of the year and receiving two red cards in his last five games.
