Chelsea reportedly believe they can get up to £60m for Nicholas Jackson this summer despite his failed loan bid to Bayern Munich.
The Blues are certain to be interested in letting Jackson go after he lacked impact at Stamford Bridge, with the Senegalese international scoring just 30 goals in 81 games before being loaned to Bayern this season, where he scored 10 in 30 games.

It is unlikely that many clubs will be queuing up to sign Jackson this summer, but according to The Athletic, Chelsea remain confident they can secure up to £60m by selling him this summer.
Jackson has shown potential at times, but after failing to impress at Bayern he is sure to struggle to move to another truly elite club competing for Champions League and major honours.
What’s next for Nicholas Jackson?
Jackson has recently been linked with a move to Serie A, which could make sense for the 24-year-old at this stage of his career.
Florian Plettenberg links Jackson with both Juventus and AC Milan in a recent post on X, so take a look below…
It is important to note that Plettenberg has stated that Jackson is likely to be eligible for loan to these clubs, which could give Chelsea a more realistic idea of what they can expect this summer.
Even if he could prove to be a good deal for a club playing at a slightly lower level, £60 million certainly seems like a lot for Jackson after his recent struggles.

A move to Italy might be ideal for Jackson, as he could benefit from Serie A’s slower pace of competition, but overall it is certain that he will end up with a club that is likely to struggle to meet his hefty £60m price tag.
CFC will obviously want a fair fee for the player, but they have to be realistic or it may be difficult to generate much interest in him.
