“We can’t continue to deal with his silly mistakes. We are open to sell him for half the price we bought him just to get rid of him ” – This is according to Chelsea owners as the club take serious, decisive steps following Nicolas Jackson’s red card controversy during the Club World Cup.

Nicolas Jackson’s Chelsea Future Uncertain Amid Transfer Interest and Disciplinary Concerns

Nicolas Jackson’s future at Chelsea is now uncertain, with the club reportedly open to offers for the Senegalese forward. Once considered a key figure in the squad, Jackson is no longer viewed as indispensable—especially as clubs from Italy have begun expressing interest.

This development follows Jackson’s recent red card in Chelsea’s Club World Cup loss to Flamengo. The 24-year-old was dismissed just four minutes after being substituted on for a reckless challenge, drawing widespread criticism.

Italian giants Juventus are reportedly exploring a move for the former Villarreal striker, who netted 13 goals in 33 appearances during his debut season at Stamford Bridge. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Serie A club has initiated preliminary discussions as they seek a new frontman. Juventus are still pursuing Viktor Gyokeres but have acknowledged that the Swedish striker appears to favour a transfer to Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Napoli is also keeping tabs on Jackson’s situation. Though the Naples-based club reportedly prefers either Darwin Núñez or Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca, they have been informed of Jackson’s potential availability.

Adding to Jackson’s challenges is increased competition for playing time. Chelsea have already strengthened their attacking options by signing Liam Delap, who is expected to push for a regular starting role. This intensifies pressure on Jackson, especially given his recent disciplinary issues—his red card against Flamengo marked his second dismissal in just a few appearances, the previous one coming in the Premier League clash with Newcastle.

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has publicly commented on Jackson’s conduct, revealing that the striker apologized to the squad after the incident but stressed the need for improved discipline. “He tried to win the ball but caught the player instead,” Cucurella explained. “He’s got great potential, but this is an area he must work on.”

Jackson also issued a heartfelt apology to fans via social media. In his message, he expressed deep regret:

“I want to say sorry to the club, the staff, my teammates, and the fans. I let you down. Another red card… I’m angry with myself. I work hard every day to support the team and not create these situations. It wasn’t intentional—just a moment that went wrong.”

With his discipline under the microscope and his role in the squad now under threat, Jackson’s position at Chelsea hangs in the balance as the summer transfer window heats up.
