Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is 100% leaving Chelsea this summer and there are no doubts about it happening now.
Fabrizio Romano has delivered the final declaration on this and says Jackson WILL leave Chelsea this summer.
We aren’t hearing about any deals for him to join another club developing or advancing, but Romano is so sure that Jackson is leaving the club this summer that he has gone as far as saying that he WILL definitely leave Stamford Bridge.
It’s been brewing all week this one, and it was also reported that Jackson had been in initial talks with Newcastle regarding a move there this window.
Even Enzo Maresca basically admitted that Jackson was likely going to be leaving the club this summer in his latest words that came out yesterday.

In quotes picked up on X, Romano said:
“I can tell you here today Jackson WILL leave Chelsea this summer. It’s been decided by both player and club. It’s over.
“Chelsea will start from £80m valuation for Nicolas Jackson, let’s see the bids. Newcastle interest, Spurs interest if Richarlison leaves + interest from abroad.
“Chelsea and Jackson feel it’s time to part ways, Chelsea signed new strikers and Jackson wants to be important. Jackson will be the next big name on the market this summer.”
So it looks like both the club and the player want this to happen and it’s a mutual decision for Jackson to leave Chelsea this window.
I don’t think Chelsea fans on the whole will be too upset by this. Some might be, others wont be at all, but I don’t think it’s going to cause any big meltdowns let’s just put it that way.
