The 13-goal striker's deal expires at the end of the campaign and West Brom were interested in signing him in January.
Sako is set to face Ghana with Mali on Tuesday and Jackett believes he could still stay at the Sky Bet Championship club.
"The situation with him has intensified in the last few months," he told the club's official site.
"But are we an option for him for next season? Yes, we are. We like Sako here. I have consistently picked him and he is a crowd favourite.
"We are all very positive towards him. We want him here next season and the door is open to him for staying.
"We're not aware of further interest in him and we're still in the same place. We have had no approach and I wouldn't expect one. His contract has been honoured on both sides.
"We said there would be transparency between the club and the player and that has been the case. It will also continue, I'm sure."
Meanwhile, Jackett confirmed Ibrahim Keita is set to leave Molineux after turning down several contract offers.
The striker's agent was reported to have been unhappy at the treatment of the 19-year-old, whose two-year contract runs out this summer.
Jackett added: "We have made Ibrahim three very good and improved offers and, as is his right, he has turned them down.
"We are disappointed but we understand. It's his choice. His agent's choice of words and stance are wrong."
