Nicolas Jackson Chelsea contract details, salary, transfer fee, release clause and jersey number
Jackson, a player for Senegal, will join the Premier League squad in a deal of €35 million (£30 million/$38 million), according to the Blues’ agreement to match his release clause. Mykhailo Mudryk is now under contract with the Blues through the summer of 2031, so if the contract’s stated duration of eight years is accurate, it would not be the first time Chelsea had given out a deal of this length.
An exceptional season was had by the striker for the Spanish team Villarreal, who scored 13 goals in 38 games across all competitions. Kai Havertz’s £65 million ($83 million) transfer from Stamford Bridge to Arsenal will likely be completed with his arrival.
While his salary at Chelsea isn’t known, Nicolas Jackson (Centre-Forward) had 4 years and €2080000 gross remaining on his contract with Villarreal (La Liga), expiring on Jun 30, 2026.
Contract: 4-yrs/€2.08M
Adj. (2023): € 40,000
Weekly: € 10,000
Jackson initially wore the number 26 for the Villareal first team before being assigned the 15 shirt. His Chelsea jersey number is yet to be revealed.
Chelsea headline the transfer window
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been in the headlines following the transfer window. The Blues are attempting to sign Ethan Nwaneri, a young Arsenal player, according to recent sources. The talented youngster hasn’t since played for Mikel Arteta’s squad, despite continuing to develop in the north Londoners’ junior programme. Felix Johnston, a transfer specialist, claims that Chelsea, a rival team in London, have made an approach to lure him to Stamford Bridge. His future has recently been the topic of debate.
Kalidou Koulibaly was Chelsea’s second summer exit on Sunday. He is the most recent player to select the Saudi Pro League over the Premier League. The 32-year-old central defender, who only stayed with Chelsea for one season after leaving Napoli last year, has joined Al-Hilal. It occurs just a few days after N’Golo Kante joined Al-Ittihad on a free transfer from Stamford Bridge after his contract there expired.
Things seem to be heating up for Chelsea right now in terms of transfers. Several Blues players are expected to leave this summer, and the whispers of their leaving have significantly increased over the past week or so.
