Al Ahly has entered strongly into the race to sign Nicolas Jackson, as part of its efforts to strengthen the attacking line before the start of the new season.

This move comes amid the likelihood of Ivan Toney's departure, with increasing reports surrounding his return to European fields in the near future.

Press reports indicated that Al-Ahly's management has placed Jackson among its top targets in the summer transfer market, due to his exceptional offensive abilities.

The player is under contract with Chelsea, while he is currently on loan with Bayern Munich until the end of June next year.

Al Ahly faces strong competition for the deal, with notable European clubs such as Fenerbahçe, Juventus, Milan, and Newcastle United showing interest.

Jackson has not yet decided on his next destination, as he is weighing the options between continuing in Europe or embarking on a new experience in the Saudi league.

Al-Ahly's management is striving to move quickly to finalize the deal, especially after the previous signing of Toney from Brentford, with the need to secure a strong attacking alternative in case of his departure.
