Chelsea Set Price for Striker as Transfer Options Take Shape

As Chelsea prepare for their FIFA Club World Cup final clash against Paris Saint-Germain, attention is also turning to their summer transfer plans—particularly in the striker department.

Enzo Maresca’s side has impressed in the revamped tournament, progressing through the group and knockout stages to reach the final. Regardless of the outcome, Chelsea are set to earn over £80 million in prize money, significantly boosting their transfer budget.

According to reports, Chelsea have now set a price tag for striker Nicolas Jackson, amid growing speculation about his future. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and the funds raised from his potential sale could be reinvested into signing a new forward.

One of the top targets remains Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, whose transfer terms are becoming clearer. The Nigerian international has long been admired by Chelsea, though his high price and wage demands have previously been a stumbling block. However, with renewed funds and a clearer path to negotiations, Chelsea may now be in a stronger position to push forward.

Football.london reports that if Jackson is sold, Chelsea will have multiple options on the table. Joao Pedro is another name being considered, especially after an impressive debut where he scored twice.

With the summer window approaching, Chelsea are evaluating all options as they aim to reshape their attack for the upcoming season—balancing player sales with strategic reinforcements.
