Juventus, Napoli Contact Chelsea Striker Nicolas Jackson Amid Uncertain Future

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge following a series of disciplinary issues, including a recent red card just minutes after entering the game against Flamengo in the Club World Cup. His lack of discipline and competition from new signing Liam Delap have led to questions about his long-term role at the club, with former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel suggesting Jackson should embrace competition or consider leaving. Juventus and Napoli have expressed interest in signing the 24-year-old Senegalese forward, with Juventus reportedly leading the pursuit and having initiated talks with Jackson's representatives. Napoli remains interested but prioritizes other targets like Darwin Nunez and Lorenzo Lucca. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly reconsidering Jackson's place in the squad, especially as Delap is expected to lead the attack during Jackson's suspension and beyond. Jackson apologized publicly for his latest sending off, acknowledging his mistakes and promising to come back stronger for Chelsea fans and teammates.
