Goodbye, Chelsea! Blues forward superstar priced at £80 million, Newcastle is determined to win

In the football transfer market this summer, Chelsea is undoubtedly the most enviable! The players they want to buy are basically all bought; the players they want to sell are basically all also sold. The cost of signings has reached nearly 300 million euros, and the transferees have earned more than 200 million euros. There are also many players such as Jackson, Sterling, and Nkunku for sale, and the signings are not over. The players planned to be introduced include Harvey Simmons, Garnacho, etc. Among the players for sale, the closest one to reaching a deal and being able to sell for a big price is undoubtedly the main center Jackson.

Jackson is 24 years old, 187cm tall, and currently has a net worth of 50 million euros. In July 2023, Chelsea introduced Jackson from Villarreal, with a transfer fee of 37 million euros. Before, Jackson was not considered a high-profit forward, whether in La Liga or later at Chelsea. 12 goals and 4 assists in La Liga in the 2022-23 season, and 14 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season. But it's not too bad, at least it's better than Uruguayan center Nunes, who Liverpool spent 85 million euros to introduce. In addition, although Chelsea has always had many top strikers, few players have won the Golden Boot.

In the 2024-25 season, Jackson contributed 13 goals and 6 assists to Chelsea in 37 games in various competitions, including 10 goals and 5 assists in 30 Premier League games. The data is average, and he is still the hero of Chelsea winning the European Union championship and qualifying for the Champions League in the Premier League. In terms of goal-making ability, Jackson is not as good as Palmer. In the 2024-25 season, Palmer played 18 goals and 13 assists for Chelsea in 52 games, including 15 goals and 8 assists in 37 Premier League games.

However, Palmer plays an offensive midfielder, and Maresca does not list Jackson as the absolute main force on the front line, nor does he use him as the core of the offensive, so that his teammates can cooperate with him. Among Chelsea's strikers, Jackson still scored the most goals.

According to Sky Sports, Chelsea believes that when Cesco's transfer deal is completed, Jackson will become the top player among the forwards in the transfer market.

Currently, Manchester United and Chelsea are competing for Cesco, but the player himself has made it clear that he wants to go to Manchester United, although Newcastle's offer is slightly higher than Manchester United. Sesco's next home is implemented, so who is the strongest among the potential strikers for sale? Jackson is undoubtedly one. Sky Sports revealed that many strong teams in Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League have expressed their interest in signing Jackson.

Chelsea introduced two forwards, Drapp and Joao Pedro this summer. These two must play as the main players. They performed well in the Club World Cup when they first joined, so Jackson will no longer be a non-sale product.

After the Daily Telegraph, Newcastle is already considering other goals after the frustration in the introduction of Cesco, and Jackson will be their priority. According to reporter Ben Jacobs, Newcastle has initially contacted Chelsea about Jackson. Chelsea valued Jackson by about £80 million, which is closer to Sesco's potential transfer fee.

If Jackson can sell it with a considerable transfer fee, Chelsea will inevitably take substantial actions against the intended Xavi Simmons and Garnacho.
