Chelsea FC and Newcastle United have commenced transfer talks over striker Nicolas Jackson, with discussions reportedly centred around a potential deal valued between £50 million and £60 million.
LeadNaija News gathered from sources familiar with the matter that negotiations began on Monday morning, with both clubs showing willingness to reach an agreement. A significant portion of the proposed fee is expected to be paid upfront.
While talks remain in the early stages, there is optimism that progress could be made swiftly if both sides can finalise the fee structure and payment terms.
Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023, has emerged as a prime target for Newcastle, who are actively exploring attacking reinforcements amid ongoing uncertainty over Alexander Isak’s future at the club.
Isak has been linked with a possible move to Liverpool, and Newcastle are said to be preparing alternative options, with Jackson considered a strong fit for manager Eddie Howe’s tactical system.
As of the time of filing this report, neither club has made an official statement, but internal discussions are expected to continue over the coming days.
