Nicolas Jackson is seeking a new team because neither his parent club, FC Chelsea, nor FC Bayern, where he is on loan until the season concludes, have plans for the 24-year-old Senegalese centre-forward. Several clubs from Saudi Arabia have shown interest in the striker, and Al Ahli has shown specific interest. This season in the Bundesliga, he has scored 3 goals in 15 appearances. For Senegal, he has been capped 30 times, scoring 7 goals. His contract with Chelsea runs until 2033, and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €45.00m. Recent reports from February 2026 confirmed that Bayern Munich will not exercise their purchase option. That option was cited at around €65m. Jackson moved from Villarreal to Chelsea in July 2023 for a reported €37m.
