Atletico Madrid seeks Nicolas Jackson, but Aston Villa remains a more viable option. The Spanish club has expressed interest in the striker, but his signing depends on Julian Alvarez or Alexander Sorloth leaving the team. The purchase price of Jackson is £65 million, and Atletico Madrid could seek a loan with an option to buy.

What happened?

Atletico Madrid has expressed interest in striker Nicolas Jackson this summer. The 25-year-old player has been left out of Chelsea's lineup in their last match.

Why it matters for Atletico Madrid?

The arrival of Jackson could be a big blow for Atletico Madrid, which seeks to strengthen its attack. The player has had a good performance in his last loan at Bayern Munich.

What comes next?

Atletico Madrid will continue to seek Jackson, but his signing depends on the situation of Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth. The Spanish club will also seek other players to strengthen its attack.

Atletico Madrid is in fourth place in the league with 57 points, 17 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses in 31 games. They have scored 51 goals and received 32 in the season. They are 22 points behind the leaders Barcelona. Their next match is against Elche at home on February 21, 2027.
