According to reports flying around this week, La Liga champions Barcelona have allegedly set their sights on a surprise attacking reinforcement from Premier League side Chelsea — and the name making the rounds is Nicolas Jackson.
Yes, you read that right. The same Jackson that lit up headlines during his Villarreal days could be heading back to Spain, but this time to the iconic Camp Nou. Omo, e be like say Barça get plans wey no dey public syllabus
Chelsea’s New Signings Push Jackson to the Sidelines
Chelsea didn’t come to play this summer. The London club has been flexing serious financial muscle, recently securing João Pedro and Liam Delap, both of whom are strong centre-forward options.
As a result, Nicolas Jackson’s position in the squad appears to be under serious threat. With increased competition for the No.9 role, rumors of his potential exit have gained momentum in the last few days.

Barça’s Interest: Real or Rumour?
According to Mundo Deportivo, citing English source Caught Offside, Barcelona are “studying the formula” to launch a swift move for the Senegalese striker. The idea? Bring him in immediately to serve as an understudy to veteran Robert Lewandowski, and then eventually step into the lead striker role once the Polish international bows out — likely by next summer.

It’s worth noting that as of now, no formal negotiations have been confirmed, but reports claim Jackson’s profile fits the type of aggressive, high-pressing attacker Flick wants in his new-look Barça side.

If this deal materializes, it might actually benefit all parties. Jackson gets more playing time, Barça secure a young, proven La Liga striker, and Chelsea balance their overcrowded attack.
