August 24, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Recent rumors have linked Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson with a potential move to Napoli to bolster their attacking lineup. However, according to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, the Neapolitan club is not among the teams currently in contention for the striker.

Romano's latest update on Jackson's future explicitly excludes Napoli. Furthermore, he emphasizes a key condition set by Chelsea: Jackson will only be allowed to depart on a permanent transfer, with no loan agreements being considered.

Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid Leading the Chase for Jackson

The coming days are expected to be crucial for the striker's future. Aston Villa is reportedly in daily contact with all parties involved, a move potentially influenced by the possible departure of their current striker, Watkins, to Al-Hilal. Atletico Madrid also maintains a strong and persistent interest in Jackson.

As it stands, based on Romano's reporting, Napoli is not among the clubs actively pursuing the Chelsea forward.
