British media: Chelsea believes that Ekitic can sell for 79 million, so they price Jackson at 80 million
According to British media talkSPORT, Chelsea set a transfer fee for Jackson to leave the team to be 80 million pounds, which is higher than the cost of Liverpool signing Ekitic.
Liverpool and Frankfurt have reached a transfer agreement for Ekitic for a total of £79 million, including a basic transfer fee of £69 million and a floating clause of £10 million.
In response, talkSPORT learned that Chelsea set a asking price for Jackson of at least £70 million in basic transfer fees plus a floating clause of £10 million. Currently, Manchester United and Aston Villa are paying attention to Jackson.
Given Jackson's goal statistics in the Premier League, Chelsea believes that he is worth more than Ekitic. Jackson scored 24 goals in 65 games in two Premier League seasons, and Ekitic scored 19 goals in 47 games in the Bundesliga, but he is one year younger than Jackson.
