Jackson was close to a move to the Premier League, with Bournemouth agreeing on a deal with Villarreal in the winter transfer window, but the striker failed his medical, causing the deal to collapse.
The reported fee then was around €20 million, however, he is said to now have a release clause of around €35 million, plus €3 million in variables.
The Blues, should they make a move for the striker, could face competition from the likes of Leipzig, West Ham, and Borussia Dortmund, who have also been linked with him.
