Barcelona has been quite active in the transfer market this summer. So far, the Catalan giants have finalised three new signings, but additional reinforcements are reportedly still on the table. Following the arrival of Marcus Rashford, there’s a significant chance that another forward could soon join the squad.
According to the English platform “Caught Offside,” Nicolas Jackson appears to be on Barcelona’s radar. Currently with Chelsea, Jackson is reportedly exploring new opportunities after the London club bolstered its offensive lineup with the additions of João Pedro and Liam Delap.
This influx of talent has created tough competition in Chelsea’s attacking department. While Jackson has been an integral part of the team, his position may be at risk, giving Barcelona a chance to secure him as a valuable addition to their offense and potentially as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski.
Last season, Nicolas Jackson made 37 appearances for The Blues, netting 13 goals and providing six assists. As for the current campaign, he has already featured in three matches and delivered one assist during the FIFA Club World Cup. The forward, who is 24 years old, is valued at 50 million euros by the website “Transfermarkt.”
