Atletico Madrid finalizes signing of Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson
Atletico Madrid is reportedly finalizing the signing of Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson. The club's professional football director, Mateu Alemany, traveled to London to advance discussions with Chelsea, Jackson's current club. This move comes as Atletico seeks to strengthen its attack due to uncertainty surrounding Julián Álvarez's future and Alexander Sørloth's injury. Jackson, who previously played in La Liga with Villarreal before joining Chelsea, is seen as a suitable profile. The main financial challenge for Atletico is its limited budget after significant investments. The preferred option is a loan deal, with Atletico hoping Chelsea will cover part of Jackson's salary. The player is reportedly open to returning to Spain after a season on loan at Bayern Munich, which could facilitate negotiations with Chelsea, a club looking to reduce its squad, particularly in the offensive sector. Atletico Madrid is optimistic about the outcome of these discussions.
