Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has spoken openly about the departure of striker Nicolas Jackson, assuring fans that the move came on good terms. While transfer exits often spark speculation about behind-the-scenes disagreements, Maresca was quick to emphasize that Jackson left Stamford Bridge with full respect and understanding from both sides.
According to the Chelsea boss, Jackson’s exit was a decision shaped by timing and circumstance rather than conflict. He praised the forward’s attitude during his stay at the club, highlighting his professionalism and commitment whenever called upon.
Maresca also noted that Jackson’s contribution would not be forgotten, even if his spell with the Blues was shorter than some expected.
The coach’s words serve as a reminder that not every transfer departure has to be clouded by negativity. Instead, Chelsea and Jackson appear to have parted ways on friendly terms, with both sides wishing each other well for the future.
For supporters, the message provides clarity and reinforces the notion of respect within the squad’s culture.
