Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson appears increasingly likely to depart Stamford Bridge during the current summer transfer window, with interest mounting from both Premier League clubs and foreign sides, according to The Athletic.
Jackson is one of five players expected to leave the Blues in the coming weeks. Chelsea have already brought in two attacking reinforcements — Joao Pedro and Liam Delap — to intensify competition within manager Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Since arriving from Villarreal, the Senegal international has faced criticism for his performances in the Premier League.
In a separate development, Real Madrid and head coach Xabi Alonso are reportedly open to the possibility of parting ways with Brazilian winger Rodrygo.
Although Rodrygo has expressed his desire to remain at the club, Alonso and his technical team are said to be unconvinced by his contributions. The former Santos forward saw limited action during the recent FIFA Club World Cup under Alonso’s leadership.
