Atletico Madrid is aggressively pursuing Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson as a potential attacking reinforcement before the summer transfer window closes. Club director Mateu Alemany travelled to London to negotiate with Chelsea officials, spurred by injuries to Alexander Sørloth and uncertainty surrounding Julián Álvarez’s future. Atletico views Jackson as an appealing option due to his prior success in La Liga with Villarreal. A full transfer is considered difficult due to Atletico’s limited finances, making a loan deal the preferred solution. Chelsea covering part of Jackson’s salary is a key aspect of the potential agreement. Jackson, currently on loan at Bayern Munich, is reportedly open to returning to Spain where he previously excelled.
