Three big clubs compete for Jackson

Aston Villa, Newcastle and Bayern Munich contacted Chelsea to recruit Nicolas Jackson in the final days of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Nicolas Jackson is the focus of the transfer market.

The Times reports that Newcastle United and Bayern Munich have been in contact this week to sign the Chelsea striker, while Aston Villa, under the direction of manager Unai Emery, have stepped up their efforts to bring the Senegalese to Villa Park before the transfer window closes.

After Newcastle's initial £50m bid was rejected by Chelsea, the north-east club returned with a higher offer. The Magpies want Jackson to replace Alexander Isak, who is in a conflict with the club.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, who lost a number of key strikers in the summer, see Jackson as an ideal addition to their attack. At the same time, Aston Villa have emerged as a formidable rival to Newcastle United and Bayern Munich, with Emery in charge.

Emery worked with Jackson at Villarreal and believes he can help his former player reach new heights. According to The Guardian , Villa have approached Chelsea to explore transfer terms, although they are unlikely to meet the Blues’ £60m asking price.

Instead, Aston Villa have proposed a loan deal with an option to buy, using the good relationship between Emery and Jackson to get the deal done. Chelsea are now weighing up offers, and are willing to let Jackson go if the right price is received.
