Chelsea opens the exit door and Barça considers him as an alternative to Lewandowski. Do you see him wearing blaugrana?
Will there be any other signings in this summer market 2025/26 for FC Barcelona? In principle, it does not seem like a feasible idea. As expressed by an authorized voice on the matter, President Joan Laporta, it is not expected that the azulgrana team will finalize another incorporation in this summer window, in which three signings have already been made:
- Joan García - goalkeeper
- Marcus Rashford - left winger
- Roony Bardghji - right winger
In turn, the issue of entering the 1:1 rule and improving financial fair play gives a certain degree of complexity to any other operation that the club considers.
Is Barcelona closely following Nico Jackson as a possible reinforcement?
However, despite this context, sources from England insist that the Catalan team plans to try to incorporate a forward in this summer market. According to CaughtOffside, the Barcelona team would be closely following the situation of the 24-year-old Senegalese attacker, Nicolás Jackson, currently playing for Chelsea.
As the aforementioned source suggests, Barça has positioned itself as one of the teams whose interest in Jackson is more serious. It is said that from the blaugrana team they see Nico as a good backup for Robert Lewandowski.
Deco's role in the operation for the Senegalese forward
From this, it is emphasized that Deco, sports director of the team from the Ciudad Condal, could soon begin conversations with the Blues — a team that apparently values the player at around €50M — to explore the options of a negotiation, prioritizing at all times a one-year loan with an option to buy.
At this point, it is not ruled out that, whether Barcelona or another club ventures to try to negotiate for the Senegalese international — who would prioritize offers from the Premier League —, they may find flexible conditions from Chelsea. It should not be forgotten that those from Stamford Bridge seem to have already decided to let Nico Jackson leave this summer.
A decision motivated by the fact that the Blues have already signed a couple of forwards in this same summer window: Liam Delap (€35.5M) and João Pedro (€63.7M). Both are center forwards and investments that suggest that a quota must be opened in the forward line, with Jackson as the main target, regardless of the fact that he comes from a season in which he was one of Chelsea's top scorers, with 13 goals in 37 matches.
- 📌 OTHER TEAMS INTERESTED IN NICO JACKSON: Juventus, Napoli and Milan.
Will Barcelona launch for Nico Jackson this summer?
It remains to be seen if Barcelona is really ready to make an offer for him this summer. A player who already knows what it is to see action in LaLiga — he played several seasons with Villarreal CF — and who, if he is in full condition, can be a top-level forward.
Jackson has great speed, power, a lot of mobility in the attacking front and an interesting goal-scoring instinct. On the downside, he sometimes does not complement that capacity with precision in the definition, an aspect to improve if he wants to make the leap to a team like Barcelona.
