AC Milan will reportedly aim to sign 24-year-old Senegalese international Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Nicolas Jackson is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the versatile 24-year-old Chelsea attacker has emerged as a target for the Rossoneri.

The Blues have set an eye-watering price tag to part ways with the former Villarreal striker in the summer transfer window. Chelsea will demand £100 million to part ways with Jackson, as they are “in no rush” to part ways with him amid his links with AC Milan.

Nicolas Jackson and his Chelsea rollercoaster

Nicolas Jackson has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Chelsea from Villarreal in July 2023 in a deal worth £32 million. While the 24-year-old has blown hot and cold in front of the goal due to his profligacy, he has been an impressive performer whose attitude has been top-notch in the last two years.

The Senegalese international has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Chelsea while chipping in with 30 goals and 12 assists. However, Jackson’s stock has dropped at the West London club, as he has struggled for game time at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. So, a summer exit may be on the cards, with AC Milan among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

Serie A adventure beckons?

AC Milan’s interest in Nicolas Jackson is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a striker this summer despite signing Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord earlier this year. However, with Tammy Abraham no longer at San Siro, the Rossoneri can do with a new centre-forward.

So, several candidates have emerged on AC Milan’s radar, with Jackson also a viable target. However, the Rossoneri must break the bank to sign the former Villarreal attacker, with Chelsea demanding £100 million to part ways with him due to their unwillingness to sell the versatile forward.

Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Jackson is frustrated with his situation at Chelsea and may explore a summer exit. However, Chelsea’s asking price of £100 million will likely thwart AC Milan instead of prompting the Serie A giants to pursue the deal further.
