Chelsea have slapped a huge £100 million price tag on Nicolas Jackson amid interest from AC Milan, per the Daily Mail.
The 24-year-old has fallen down the pecking order after the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro earlier this summer.
Jackson has suffered a significant dip in form since the turn of the year, scoring just four goals over that period.
Milan are in the market for a new striker after Tammy Abraham returned to Roma at the end of his loan. Luka Jovic has also left the Serie A outfit following the expiration of his contract.
The Italian giants are considering a move for Jackson after receiving an indication from intermediaries that he may be interested in a transfer.
However, Chelsea have made it clear they are in no rush to sell the Senegal international as they have set a huge £100m valuation.
The Blues are also in a strong position as he is contracted to Stamford Bridge until 2033, having penned an extension last year.
Jackson arrived at the club two years ago from Villarreal for £32m, but has struggled to perform consistently.
He has bagged 30 goals and 12 assists in 81 appearances, which are reasonable statistics.
However, a lack of discipline has been a big issue, with the centre-forward receiving two red cards in his last five appearances for Chelsea.
