Nicolas Jackson, a 25-year-old forward from Chelsea, is gaining strength as an option to reinforce Atlético de Madrid in this transfer market. Mateu Alemany has traveled to London to assess the conditions for a potential loan deal.

The striker returned to Chelsea after a season on loan at Bayern, where he scored 11 goals in 34 matches. Atlético is seeking another forward to bolster their attack in LaLiga, and the potential arrival of Jackson is also linked to the future of Alexander Sørloth.

Nicolas Jackson gains prominence at Atlético de Madrid

The name of Nicolas Jackson has risen in recent days. Alemany missed the presentation of Cristian Romero as he traveled to London, where one of his tasks is to assess the situation of the Senegalese player.

Chelsea is considering parting ways with the forward again after Bayern chose not to exercise the purchase option at the end of his loan spell. Jackson played 23 Bundesliga matches, scored 8 goals, and ended the season with 11 goals across all competitions.

His offensive output has been consistent since his time in Spain. Jackson scored 13 goals with Villarreal in the 2022/23 season and later achieved 17 and 13 goals with Chelsea before moving to Germany.

Atlético had been monitoring the player during his Villarreal tenure. His prior experience in LaLiga and willingness to return to Spanish football place him back among the options considered by the club's management.

Sørloth's departure could facilitate the deal

The situation of Alexander Sørloth could directly impact the transfer. The Norwegian striker is attracting interest from Trabzonspor, and Atlético de Madrid values him at over 30 million euros, a sum that could free up resources to rebuild the attacking line.

If Sørloth leaves, Atlético could seek to bring in Nicolas Jackson on loan and allocate part of the revenue for another offensive move. Matías Fernández-Pardo remains under consideration to complete this reorganization.

If the Norwegian stays, Jackson could arrive as the third forward behind Sørloth and Julián Álvarez. The club also needs to address the situation of the Argentine, whose status continues to influence the attacking planning.

Chelsea prefers a sale over another loan

The main obstacle lies in Chelsea's stance. The English club wants to explore transfer offers before agreeing to another loan and anticipates a decision closer to the end of the transfer window.

Moreover, the London club has limited room for international loans, which could lead to a move to another Premier League team if they opt for that route. Therefore, Atlético may need to compete in the English market as well.

Gabriel Jesus emerges as an alternative after Atlético assessed his situation at Arsenal, although he is currently not the top priority. The Brazilian serves as a secondary option while Alemany works in London.

The upcoming days will be crucial for Nicolas Jackson. Atlético awaits developments regarding Sørloth and Chelsea's flexibility before presenting a final proposal to bring the Senegalese player back to LaLiga.
