Chelsea had a £42 million opening bid for Gittens rejected two weeks ago, and the Bundesliga side is hoping to push the bid up to £50 million. Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023 for £32 million, enjoyed a promising first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.
Although he scored 13 goals in 8 fewer appearances last season under manager Enzo Maresca, many reports suggest that Jackson may move in the next few months due to the arrival of Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap and the potential transfer of Gittens.
However, Chelsea has no plans to sell Jackson right now and expects him to play a significant role next season. There have been reports that Juventus has opened talks with the Senegal international to gauge whether Maresca would be willing to let him go.
Despite his mixed reputation, Jackson has consistently scored goals for Chelsea, which could influence Maresca's decision. In his last four appearances for the club, Jackson scored in the Europa Conference League final, assisted Pedro Neto at the Club World Cup, and was sent off twice.
