Juventus are exploring a potential loan move for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson as the Senegal international prepares to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old striker, currently on loan at the Bundesliga champions, is not expected to remain in Germany beyond the current campaign. Bayern have opted against triggering the €65 million purchase clause in his deal, opening the door for a fresh wave of suitors across Europe and beyond.
Jackson has enjoyed a strong finish to the Bundesliga season, establishing himself as a regular in the starting lineup. He featured in five consecutive matches during the run-in, contributing three goals and one assist in a spell that underlined his attacking quality and adaptability at the highest level.
Despite that late surge, Bayern’s hierarchy appear unconvinced about committing to a long-term deal. Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed the club’s stance in a recent interview, suggesting that Jackson has not played enough to justify activating the option to buy.
Juventus are now weighing up a loan approach as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season. The Italian giants are not alone in the race, with AC Milan, Fenerbahce, and Saudi side Al Ahli all reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
With Chelsea set to reassess their forward line in the summer, Jackson’s future remains uncertain, but his recent form has ensured he will not be short of admirers as the transfer window approaches.
