Romano latest: Key Chelsea man could follow Madueke out of the door; Premier League clubs “keen and informed”

Chelsea's extensive player trading under new ownership continues to surprise, moving beyond merely replacing the old squad to now selling players acquired by the current regime itself. Recent purchases like Noni Madueke (reportedly joining Arsenal for £50m), Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, and Renato Veiga, along with last season's first-team regulars, are all considered vulnerable to departure.

According to Fabrizio Romano, striker Nicolas Jackson could be the next to leave. Jackson has been instantly relegated to third choice following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, as evidenced by his limited role in recent Club World Cup games. Romano states Jackson "could try a new chapter elsewhere," noting AC Milan inquired but were deterred by his high price. However, Premier League clubs with greater financial resources remain "keen and informed" on his situation.

The article expresses sympathy for Jackson, acknowledging he is a good though sometimes frustrating player, and states a desire not to see him forced out despite welcoming the increased competition. Nevertheless, it outlines Chelsea's clear player trading policy: if a player is set to miss significant game time, the club seeks to sell at that moment to maximize profit.
