Chelsea have offered Manchester United the opportunity to sign striker Nicolas Jackson this summer, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Senegal international had a decent second season with the Blues, scoring 10 goals and providing five assists in the Premier League.
He is likely to be shown the exit door in the coming weeks, considering the club have signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro as new strikers.
Jackson has been linked with a move to Old Trafford lately, and Romano confirms contact has been made between United and his agents.
The Blues have also offered the player to the Red Devils. United are considering whether to make an approach for the 24-year-old.
The club are unlikely to meet the reported £80 million price tag, and a swap agreement seems the most likely solution during the summer.
The Blues hold a long-term interest in Alejandro Garnacho and could ask him as a makeweight in a player-plus cash move for Jackson.
