Jackson lands in Munich: Bayern keen to finalise transfer | OneFootball

Bayern's new signing Nicolas Jackson has landed in Munich. He is soon to be officially announced as a player for the record champions.

The 24-year-old striker boarded a private jet in London on Saturday with his advisors and headed to Munich. Sky UK has already released a video from the tarmac. According to Sky, the plane landed in Munich around 5 PM.

This spectacular deal is now taking shape. Jackson is set to join the German record champions on loan from Chelsea FC. Bayern will pay a fee of 15 million euros for the one-year loan – a club record for a loan deal. Additionally, a purchase option of 80 million euros has been agreed upon. This means that if Bayern decides to make the transfer permanent, they would need to pay an additional 65 million euros. Chelsea also secured a resale participation.

According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, Jackson has already signed a preliminary contract that would take effect in the summer of 2026 if Bayern exercises the purchase option.

After Chelsea striker Liam Delap's injury during the Blues' 2-0 win against Fulham, doubts about the deal could arise again. Delap could be out for about eight weeks, and Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca did not rule anything out when asked about a possible withdrawal from the Jackson deal after the match.

Jackson wanted to join FC Bayern

With the Senegalese player, Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl would fulfill the most urgent wish of coach Vincent Kompany: an offensive player who combines speed, physicality, and flexibility. Jackson can be deployed both in the center of the attack and on the wings and is expected to complement the offensive axis with Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, and Michael Olise.

In 81 competitive matches for Chelsea, Jackson scored 30 goals and provided twelve assists. The forward joined the Blues in the summer of 2023 for 37 million euros from Villarreal and won, among other things, the Club World Cup and the Conference League there.
