Last summer he could have left. Instead he stayed and will probably be the next capital gain for Hellas Verona. Jackson Tchatchoua has ended up in the sights of medium-sized clubs, such as Rennes and Olympique Lyon, but the offers of around 10 million have all been rejected. Perhaps because the Venetian club has shown that it can make a virtue of necessity, selling many in January and still saving itself, thanks to the extraordinary talent of its sporting director, Sean Sogliano, who is good at fishing for unknowns from all over Europe who then become top-level players.
Now he has also become a regular in his national team, Cameroon, which is always ambitious both at continental and World level. He scored his first goal in Serie A in the 2-0 win over Genoa, while the big clubs are studying his profile: Napoli and Juventus above all. However, his valuation is high, around 15 million euros.
This is the press release that announced, at the beginning of July, the decision to buy him from Charleroi for around 2 million euros. “Hellas Verona FC announces that it has bought Belgian defender Jackson Tchatchoua from Royal Charleroi Sporting Club, on a permanent basis. The player will be tied to the yellow-blue club until 30 June 2027. Having arrived in Verona in the final days of the summer transfer market, the 2001-born player was a protagonist in the ride that led to salvation, contributing to the achievement of the objective by taking to the field on 26 occasions, starting 19 of them. In total, the yellow-blue defender has collected 1,725 minutes of play. Hellas Verona FC wishes Jackson the best of luck for the rest of his career in yellow-blue”. Today Jackson Tchatchoua turns 23.
