Villarrealthis season, and Mundo Deportivo reports that
Barcelonais monitoring his situation, as his contract will expire at the end of the season and also has a £27million release clause.
Barcelona is considering signing Jackson in the January transfer window for a lower price or offering the player and his representatives a pre-contractual agreement.
Everton and Aston Villa also reportedly are interested in signing Jackson. Unai Emery left Villarreal last week and joined Aston Villa and could play a role in bringing Jackson to Villa.
