The transfer of Nicolas Jackson to FC Bayern is in danger of falling through. Now, sporting director Max Eberl has been questioned about the deal and commented on it.
It was the bombshell on Saturday afternoon: The Athletic reported that Chelsea had informed Bayern that, following the injury to Liam Delap, they would not proceed with the loan of Nicolas Jackson. Accordingly, the club had already told Jackson that he should fly back to London.
Now, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl was asked about the supposedly failed transfer. On Sky he explained: “Transfers are only done when the signatures are there. The boy is here and then we’ll see. We’ll calmly deal with it after the game and act accordingly.”
When pressed, Eberl added: “It’s simple to understand: you negotiate, you come to an agreement, then comes the medical check, and extraordinary things can still happen.”
He continued: “I still can’t say what’s going on right now.” When asked if he was communicating with Chelsea during the Augsburg match, Eberl replied: “No, I will not contact Chelsea during the match. Life is not a subjunctive, life is reality.”
Vincent Kompany was also questioned before the match against FCA. The Belgian responded as follows: “That’s not interesting to me at the moment. I’m only focused on this game. We have always remained calm in our area and have not let ourselves be influenced. There are other people who can answer that better than I can, I can talk about this game.”
Apparently, Chelsea is insisting on bringing Jackson back to London. The Senegalese is supposed to return to the first team immediately, even though Jackson’s camp apparently wants the move to Munich to go through.
