Chelsea Considers Nicolas Jackson Transfer Amid Summer Rebuild

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has indicated that striker Nicolas Jackson could be sold this summer, especially with new arrivals Liam Delap and Joao Pedro strengthening the squad. Chelsea values Jackson highly, reportedly demanding around €92 million, as they seek funds to pursue other targets like Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho. Meanwhile, Chelsea faces uncertainty due to Levi Colwill's injury sustained during pre-season training, with the club awaiting scan results and potentially considering defensive reinforcements. The team is managing a condensed pre-season after winning the Club World Cup, which has limited preparation time ahead of the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace. Maresca expressed curiosity about how the short pre-season will affect the squad, emphasizing the importance of player recovery after a demanding previous season with 64 matches played. Despite the challenges, Maresca is optimistic about the squad's mood and praised new signing Estevao Willian for his potential, urging patience as he adapts to the team.
