UEFA Champions League
Atletico Madrid has activated its transfer radar and has set its sights on Nico Jackson as one of its main options to strengthen its attack. The Senegalese forward from Chelsea is in the plans of the red and white club as an ideal complement to the offensive duo formed by Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez, seeking depth and alternatives for a demanding season.
Diego Simeone believes that the former Villarreal player fits perfectly into his style of play, thanks to his power, speed, and ability to create imbalance in the final third of the field. In addition, his knowledge of LaLiga, acquired during his time at Villarreal, is an added value that facilitates his immediate adaptation to the requirements of the Argentine coach.
Simeone wants Nico Jackson
Chelsea would not be averse to parting ways with the 24-year-old forward, who has been pushed down the pecking order in the London team following the recent signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. In this context, Atletico is considering a loan with mandatory purchase option at the end of the season, aiming to navigate the current economic constraints and negotiate a deal structured in installments.
During the last season, Jackson registered solid numbers: 13 goals and six assists in 37 matches. Despite these statistics, his market value has dropped due to limited minutes at Stamford Bridge, although Chelsea still values him at around 50 million euros.
From the Metropolitano offices, they are aware that this won't be an easy operation, but the interest is real and growing. The possibility of Nico returning to Spain, now dressed in red and white, is becoming more plausible as the days go by.
