A reliable source from BBC confirmed that MU has contacted Jackson's representative, Ali Barat, to inquire about the departure of the Senegalese star.

However, the deal was not easy because Chelsea immediately demanded 100 million pounds for the 24-year-old striker.

To make a move to recruit Nicolas Jackson, MU first needs to liquidate excess players to avoid violating the PSR (profit and sustainability) law in the Premier League.

Coach Ruben Amorim has a clear idea of the players he wants to sell, with 5 names: Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia.

Positive news is flying to Old Trafford as Barcelona open the door to welcome "big guy" Rashford with a 1-year contract with an option to buy.

Jadon Sancho also received special attention from Juventus and Nottingham Forest. While Garnacho was pursued by 3 big teams in England.

Amorim have brought in Matheus Cunha and are close to signing Mbeumo but are still looking for a quality striker, with Hojlund proving hugely disappointing.

Nicolas Jackson is targeted because he has experience in the Premier League, is young and is no longer in coach Maresca's plans.

The Italian strategist currently prioritizes using new recruits Joao Pedro and Liam Delap over Nicolas Jackson in the role of Chelsea's spearhead striker.
