According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus and Napoli have made an initial approach for Chelsea attacker Nicolas Jackson. While the Bianconeri have sounded out a move for the Senegalese international, the Partenopei have submitted an enquiry.
The 24-year-old had an underwhelming 2024/25 season with Chelsea, and he scored just 13 goals. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to replace him in the summer. Recent reports have also linked him with Premier League clubs.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have already invested in a talented young striker like Liam Delap, but they could use another reliable goalscorer. Selling Jackson this summer could be ideal if there is an attractive proposal on the table. The 24-year-old is unlikely to be a regular starter for Chelsea next season. It makes sense for him to join a club where he will get regular game time.
Juventus and Napoli are big clubs, and he will be able to fight for trophies with them. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Chelsea. The move to the Premier League has not gone according to plan for the former Villarreal striker, and a fresh start would be ideal.
Chelsea should look to cut their losses on him and invest in someone who will help them improve. The Blues have secured or return to the Champions League, and they need elite players in order to do well in the European competition. It would be wise of them to get rid of the Senegalese international and bring in an upgrade.
Chelsea will be hoping to fight for trophies next year, and they must look to plug the weaknesses in their side. Improving the attacking unit should be a priority for them this summer. Jackson will probably hope to join a competitive club, and Juventus and Napoli will be attractive destinations for him.
Napoli won the Serie A title last season, and they have a world-class manager like Antonio Conte. Meanwhile, Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in Italy, and they have the resources to build a formidable side as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
