Agreement Reached: The Blues’ Pursuit of Forward
After weeks of negotiations, Chelsea have managed to secure an agreement with Villarreal for the signing of Jackson. The club was willing to pay slightly more than the player’s £30 million release clause but with payment terms that favoured them using instalments. This compromise proved pivotal in sealing the deal.
Medical Tests and Contract Signing
The Senegalese international’s move to Stamford Bridge is now in its final stages.
The player’s medical tests are being scheduled in London over the weekend, a standard procedure to ensure his fitness and readiness to join the team. Following successful medical examinations, the 22-year-old will officially sign a contract with the Blues.
Interestingly, Jackson was on the verge of signing for AFC Bournemouth in January, but the move was cancelled after he picked up an injury. This could turn out to be a shocking move that almost happened like that of Robert Lewandowski to Blackburn Rovers.
