ESPN FC’s Transfer Talk relays Fabrizio Romano’s claim that Aston Villa have discussed Nicolas Jackson with Chelsea and made contact over a possible move.Rumour - Fabrizio Romano via ESPN FC
The same report says another loan is a possibility. It does not establish that Villa have submitted a formal proposal or that Chelsea have accepted a loan structure. No bid, fee, option or obligation, wage arrangement, player decision, medical or timetable is supplied.
Contact is the concrete part of the claim. The shape and probability of a transfer remain open. MercatoWire therefore keeps the story at Rumour rather than treating the conversation as an advanced deal.
The next useful update would contain terms: a formal offer, Chelsea’s response, a defined loan structure or Jackson’s position. Until one of those arrives, the clubs have reportedly opened a line and nothing more is established.
