Atlético Madrid eye Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson in late-season transfer push

Atlético Madrid’s hierarchy is said to be evaluating a late-window acquisition of Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson. The Senegalese attacker, 25, completed a loan spell with Bayern Munich and has struggled to secure a role under Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso. Having previously featured in La Liga with Villarreal, Jackson remains a highly regarded talent and commands a price tag of €70 million.

Spanish media indicate the Spanish side’s interest centers on a possible loan arrangement rather than a full purchase. The move would address Atlético’s need for reinforcement up front as the transfer deadline approaches. Sources note that Jackson’s situation is being closely watched by the club’s scouting department.
