Information from Asharq Al-Awsat indicates that the Saudi club Al Ahli Saudi FC is closely monitoring the situation of striker Nicolas Jackson and is considering taking action during the next transfer window. Al Ahli would be willing to meet the financial demands of the English club to convince Chelsea to release their player. The London executives are valuing their striker at around 70 million euros. They are also exploring different possibilities, including a permanent transfer or a new loan with an obligation to buy.

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.
