Juventus are showing concrete interest in Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany. The Serie A club is exploring attacking reinforcements amid uncertainty over the future of Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract is expiring. Jackson is expected to leave Chelsea permanently this summer after Bayern decided against activating a reported €65 million purchase option in his loan deal, with the Senegal international having played a limited role behind Harry Kane.
Jackson's situation at Stamford Bridge had appeared settled following the loan move, but the recent sacking of Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has introduced a potential, though unlikely, lifeline for his Chelsea career. Regardless, interest from Italy is firm, with AC Milan also reported to be monitoring the 27-year-old. Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2024 and has since had loan spells at RB Leipzig and Bayern, where he has struggled for consistent starting minutes.
As an alternative to Jackson, Juventus are also considering a move for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, reports Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri have long been admirers of the English attacker, who is facing increased scrutiny behind the scenes at Marseille despite a productive spell on the pitch. The French club is said to value Greenwood at around €50 million, a significant sum that Juventus hope to reduce through their strong relationship with Marseille and the potential inclusion of winger Edon Zhegrova in any deal.
Greenwood's former club, Manchester United, would be a major beneficiary of a high-value sale, as they are entitled to 50% of any profit Marseille make on the player they signed in 2024. His potential move adds another layer to a busy summer expected for Juventus' attack, as they weigh multiple options to refresh their forward line. For Jackson, a move to Turin would offer a fresh start and a clearer path to regular first-team football after two seasons largely spent away from his parent club.
The pursuit of both players underscores Juventus's intent to capitalise on a transfer market where established forwards are available, while also navigating their own financial constraints. The coming weeks will determine which path they choose, with Jackson's fate also hinging on Chelsea's final decision under a new managerial setup. The developments signal the beginning of a proactive strategy from the Italian giants as they look to rebuild a competitive squad for next season.
