Decision made? How Bayern plan to use Nicolas Jackson | OneFootball

FC Bayern has apparently already decided on the future of Nicolas Jackson. The 24-year-old striker, who moved to Isar on loan from FC Chelsea in the summer, is expected to stay in Munich long term.

As TBR Football reports, Bayern has already signaled to the Senegalese national player that they are aiming for a permanent commitment - even if the purchase obligation anchored in his contract does not apply. This would only have been triggered after 40 appearances and would have obliged the record champion to pay around 65 million euros. Since Jackson will also compete for Senegal in the Africa Cup next year, it is almost impossible that this mark will be reached.

Nevertheless, the decision has been made: The officials want to reach an agreement with Chelsea to keep the attacker at the club beyond the loan season.

“Since his arrival, FC Bayern has been very satisfied with Nicolas Jackson, in fact, they were very impressed after the first meeting with him. His commitment to come, for which the player and his advisors sacrificed money, and his persistence that FC Bayern should be the club he wanted to play for,” emphasizes TBR reporter Graeme Bailey.

As early as September, Bayern patron Uli Hoeneß publicly stated that Jackson will never reach the purchase obligation. The 24-year-old himself feels comfortable with the record champion. After his first goal in the FCB jersey in the 5:1 in the Champions League against Pafos FC he raved: “I am very happy here, everyone has welcomed me very well. I feel at home.”

A permanent commitment in Munich thus seems not only possible but very likely. Only "a significant change in circumstances" could still prevent this, according to TBR Football.

Chelsea has other plans in attack

The prospects for an agreement are not bad, as Chelsea already has other plans in attack. With the commitments of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro in the summer and the planned move of Emanuel Emegha from Strasbourg for 2026, the Londoners would have three options for the striker position in the future. Jackson no longer plays a central role in the Blues' plans.

According to information from the BILD, Bayern wants to reduce the transfer fee. In Munich, they hope to get the attacker significantly below the fixed purchase obligation of 65 million euros.
