Spanish club Atletico Madrid is preparing to move to sign a new striker during the summer of 2026, amid the potential departure of both Antoine Griezmann and Giacomo Raspadori, according to the website "Football Spain."

Nicolas Jackson emerges as one of the top candidates to replace them, after the Spanish club closely followed his performance for more than 12 months. Jackson had previously moved to Bayern Munich last summer on loan with a mandatory purchase option from Chelsea, contingent on certain conditions being met.

Sources confirmed that Chelsea does not plan to retain Jackson's services, making a return to the Spanish league a viable option, especially with Atletico Madrid's desire to sign him in the summer of 2026. Despite the good relationship between the two clubs, the deal will not be easy due to interest from other clubs such as Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Everton in England, as well as Napoli in Italy.

Moving to Atletico Madrid is a suitable option for Jackson to revive his football career, as coach Diego Simeone can develop him into a prominent striker, with the possibility of playing alongside Julian Alvarez, which represents an additional motivation for the player.
