AC Milan have arranged formal talks with the La Liga striker, and Real Madrid are also watching the player transfers.
Nicolás Jacquesson, a dual citizen of Senegal and Gambia, can play multiple positions on the court, is fast, skillful, known for his finishing ability, and has excellent passing ability, one-on-one dribbling performance, and even has the resounding nickname of "African Neymar".
After leaving Casa Sporting in Africa for Spain in the summer of 2019, Jaxon joined Villarreal's youth system at the age of 17 and was officially promoted to the Yellow Submarines' first team last summer after several years of adaptation and growth, as well as a season on loan to lower-level side Mirandes.
In all competitions this season, the 21-year-old has made 35 appearances, including 18 starts, with 12 goals and 5 assists, making him one of the team's leading scorers. Such performances have also attracted the attention of Serie A giants AC Milan, and Pioli's side are looking for suitable successors for two veterans, Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud.
Jackson's current contract with Yellow Submarine will only expire in 2026, and his current estimate in the transfer market is around €15 million. Even at a premium, AC Milan can afford his transfer fee, and the player's age and future development potential are fully in line with the Rossoneri's sustainable development strategy in recent years.
The latest news from Spanish media points out that the Rossoneri have arranged a meeting with the players in the near future to find out the specific possibility of a transfer deal. With Villarreal only finishing fifth in the La Liga table this season, being able to play in the Champions League in the new season will have a certain attraction for Jacqueson. However, La Liga giants Real Madrid and some Premier League teams are also watching the player's movements, and AC Milan are not the only pursuers for the striker.
