AC Milan are stepping up plans to sign a new striker, with Nicolas Jackson emerging as a key target ahead of the summer window.

The seven-time European champions are actively reshaping their attacking options after an inconsistent season in front of goal.

As part of that process, the club’s hierarchy have intensified their search for a forward capable of leading the line in the long term.

Jackson, currently contracted to Chelsea, has now moved firmly onto Milan’s radar as they explore potential deals.

The 24-year-old has spent time away from Stamford Bridge, but his situation remains unresolved heading into the summer.

A permanent move elsewhere has yet to materialise, particularly with Bayern Munich not fully convinced about securing his services on a long-term basis.

That uncertainty has opened the door for Milan to position themselves as a serious contender for his signature.

Club officials believe Jackson’s profile fits what they are looking for in a modern striker — pace, movement and the ability to stretch defences.

His previous experience at Villarreal also demonstrated his capacity to develop within a structured attacking system.

Milan’s interest is not just tentative, with reports suggesting they are now closely monitoring his situation as they prepare for a possible approach.

The Italian giants are understood to be evaluating multiple options, but Jackson is increasingly viewed as one of the most realistic and attainable targets.

A move to San Siro could offer the forward a fresh start and a central role in a team rebuilding its attacking identity.

For Milan, securing the right striker is seen as a decisive step in returning to consistent domestic and European competitiveness.

Jackson’s future remains open, but with Milan accelerating their interest, the summer window could present a defining moment for both player and club.
