Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has reportedly rejected two approaches from Italian clubs as he seeks to remain in the Premier League—potentially opening the door for a move to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old's position at Stamford Bridge has become increasingly uncertain following Chelsea's summer signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, with the club spending a combined £85 million on the two strikers.
According to The Sun, Napoli and AC Milan expressed interest in the Senegal international, but the No.7 is said to have no intention of leaving English football at this stage in his career.
Sources suggest that Jackson's representatives have already spoken to Manchester United officials to explore the possibility of a switch to Old Trafford. United are actively searching for a new striker, with Ruben Amorim reportedly unconvinced by Rasmus Hojlund's consistency.
However, Chelsea's valuation of Jackson—believed to be in the region of £80 million—could prove a stumbling block for the Red Devils, whose lack of European football next campaign has significantly impacted their budget.
