Nicolas Jackson Transfer News: Bayern Munich Agree Loan Deal with Obligation to Buy Chelsea Forward for £70.5m.
READ DETAILS
Bayern Munich have reportedly reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign forward Nicolas Jackson on an initial loan deal, which includes an obligation to buy for £70.5 million. The 23-year-old Senegalese striker only joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 from Villarreal, but after a mixed debut Premier League season, he’s now set for a new challenge in the Bundesliga.
Jackson showed flashes of brilliance at Stamford Bridge, scoring 14 goals in all competitions during the 2023–24 campaign. However, inconsistency and Chelsea’s changing tactical approach left the forward struggling to fully settle into the squad. Bayern, in need of attacking reinforcements following an underwhelming season and Harry Kane’s injury concerns, see Jackson as a long-term asset.
The deal, which includes a mandatory purchase clause, reflects Bayern’s intent to invest in younger talent capable of leading the line for years to come. For Chelsea, the move helps balance the books and clear space in an already crowded attacking lineup.
The transfer is expected to be finalized in the coming days, with Jackson reportedly keen on the move and eager to test himself in the Bundesliga and Champions League next season.
