Nicolas Jackson gives green light to Aston Villa move as Chelsea look to sell

Blues demand €60M for out-of-favor striker

Nicolas Jackson could be on his way out of Chelsea this summer after reportedly approving a transfer to Aston Villa. According to Football Insider, the striker has already informed his representatives that a switch to Unai Emery’s side would be the best step for his career.

Chelsea Open to Permanent Exit

The 23-year-old has struggled to find consistency at Stamford Bridge and is currently enduring a strained relationship with the club’s board. Chelsea are prepared to sanction a permanent sale in this window and are actively listening to offers.

Club sources say the Blues expect around €60 million for Jackson’s transfer, a figure that Aston Villa are attempting to negotiate down. Despite the high price tag, Chelsea are not expected to block the deal if Villa submit a formal proposal.

Aston Villa Lead the Race

Aston Villa are considered frontrunners in the race to secure the striker’s signature, with talks already underway between the two Premier League clubs. Villa’s board sees Jackson as a long-term attacking solution and hopes to finalize the deal before the end of the summer market.
