What are the obstacles facing Aston Villa in the way of contracting with Nicolas Jackson?

Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson is reportedly open to a move to Aston Villa should he leave Chelsea, with the club showing strong interest in his profile. However, the likelihood of a deal materializing at this stage is considered very low.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Aston Villa’s financial capabilities would not allow them to exceed €60 million to secure the services of the Senegalese international—a figure that falls short of Chelsea’s valuation. The London club is said to be holding out for at least €80 million.

Despite the significant gap in valuation, Aston Villa remains attentive to the situation of the 24-year-old forward. A loan deal appears to be the most plausible option for the club, though such a move would require Chelsea’s approval.
