Man Utd considering swap deal for Chelsea striker

Manchester United have been linked with moves for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson this summer transfer window.

The recent report disclosed that the Red Devils have progressed in their bid for Jackson as they have contacted the Senegalese’s agent, Ali Barat.

Man Utd are said to be considering making an offer for the Blues’ attacker as they plan to strengthen their attack ahead of next season.

However, in order to sign Jackson, Man Utd will need to create space for him in their first team.

Reports claims their deal for Jackson could include the sale of Alejandro Garnacho, who has long been on the Blues wishlist.

It is no news that Jackson may see limited game time next season if he remains at Chelsea after they signed João Pedro and Liam Delap, who are likely to compete for the first-striker position under manager Enzo Maresca.

The West London side are said to be willing to sell Jackson for a good price, having signed him from Villarreal in the previous summer for £32 million.

Man United’s interest in the Senegal star is reportedly genuine, but Premier League financial realities may mean they have to part ways with one of their players to make the transfer happen.
