AC Milan are entering a critical transfer window with a clear objective of strengthening their attacking department, as the club seeks renewed firepower and long-term stability in the forward line.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Nicolas Jackson has emerged as a leading candidate on Milan’s striker shortlist following an underwhelming loan spell at Bayern Munich.
The 24-year-old Senegal international accumulated just 641 minutes across competitions in Germany, struggling to secure a consistent starting role within Bayern’s competitive attacking structure.
Chelsea Set For Decision On Jackson’s Future
With Bayern unlikely to pursue a permanent agreement, Jackson is expected to return to Chelsea before potentially moving again under a structured loan arrangement that could include an option to buy.
Chelsea’s evolving squad composition, which includes alternatives such as João Pedro and Liam Delap, has reportedly left Jackson surplus to immediate requirements at Stamford Bridge.
Despite limited playing time in Germany, Jackson’s pace, vertical running and capacity to stretch defensive lines remain attributes valued in modern high-tempo systems.
Alternative Profiles Also Under Consideration
Milan are evaluating how Jackson’s dynamic movement could complement their existing attacking core while offering developmental upside over multiple seasons.
The Rossoneri have also been linked with Serhou Guirassy of Borussia Dortmund, whose more physical, penalty-box-oriented profile would represent a different tactical approach.
Ultimately, Milan’s final decision may hinge on financial feasibility and the broader tactical direction established for the upcoming campaign, as the club balances immediate impact against long-term squad evolution.
