Guardian: Jackson tells Chelsea to leave the team, and the Blues may accept about £65 million transfer fee

August 9, according to the Guardian, Jackson has informed Chelsea that he hopes to leave the club. He missed a friendly against Leverkusen on Friday night, Jackson's pick at Chelsea fell a bit after Joao Pedro and Drapp joined, and Newcastle was considered a favorite to sign him.

It is understood that Jackson trained alone on Friday after telling the club that he wanted to leave the team, and AC Milan had contacted him. Previously, Chelsea valued Jackson at £80 million, but in order to reshape the front lineup, they are likely to accept a transfer fee of about £65 million to sign Xavi Simmons from Leipzig and Garnacho from Manchester United.

Newcastle is considered a favorite to sign Jackson, and they also hope to bring in Brentford's Visa, who had missed Leipzig's Sesco, who is about to join Manchester United. On Friday, Visa told Brentford that he wanted to leave the team and was therefore excluded from the list of friendly matches against Borussia Mönchengladbach, but Newcastle has not yet negotiated the transfer fee with Brentford. After Callum Wilson's free transfer, Eddie Howe is eager to strengthen the front line as Isaac has a chance to transfer to Liverpool.

said back to Chelsea, on Thursday, Maresca said that Jackson could leave this month. He revealed at a press conference: "With the transfer window open, anything can happen whether you are lucky or unlucky, so this also involves Jackson's current situation. During the Club World Cup, we have two new strikers joined, Joao Pedro and Drapp, so we will look at the situation."

Chelsea have negotiated personal terms with Garnacho, but it is understood that they are unwilling to pay a transfer fee of £50 million. In addition, Chelsea also hopes to negotiate with Leipzig on the transfer of Xiavi Simmons. Although Bayern is also interested in the player, Xavi Simmons still agreed to Chelsea's conditions.

Estewan scored a goal against Leverkusen in his first appearance, helping Chelsea win 2-0.
