Jackson disappoints at Bayern: will there be a swift winter exit? | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson has not been able to make the most of his opportunity at FC Bayern so far – now an early separation seems to be looming. According to a report from the English portal Football Insider, an early termination of the loan in winter is a possible scenario.

The 24-year-old Senegalese moved from Chelsea to Munich at the last minute in the summer to strengthen the record champions’ attack. But with only three goals and one assist in twelve competitive matches, Jackson has so far failed to make the desired impression.

Everton senses its chance

As Football Insider reports, Everton is said to be strongly interested in bringing the striker back to the Premier League as early as January. The traditional English club has reportedly expressed its interest to both FC Bayern and Chelsea.

Particularly explosive: According to the report, Bayern has already informed the Blues that they will definitely not exercise the purchase option for Jackson. It is “very likely” that the center forward will return to London after the season – unless Everton manages to secure him already in winter.

The Munich club is reportedly not averse to terminating the loan contract early. This would free up a spot in the squad for the German record champions – possibly for a new attacking reinforcement.

Despite the criticism of Jackson, coach Vincent Kompany demonstratively stood by his striker. At the press conference, the Belgian emphasized: “He is working very well! We talked about integration last week, and in my opinion, it has gone very quickly for him.”

Kompany showed his annoyance at the constant debates about his protégé: “If he scores, he’s the best. If not, it’s not enough? That’s not how I look at the game. We’re happy he’s here – and he will still be important this season.”

The Bayern coach especially praised Jackson’s attitude and understanding of the game: “In terms of play, he’s already where he needs to be. I’ve seen good things. We remain calm and supportive – the rest will come.”

FCB apparently planning without Jackson

Whether Kompany’s backing will change Jackson’s situation in the long term remains questionable. Behind the scenes, it seems that Munich is already preparing for an imminent end to this chapter.

Jackson, who according to media reports costs around 16 million euros in loan fees, has not been able to recommend himself sustainably either as a starter or as a substitute. With the possible return of Jamal Musiala, his standing is likely to drop even further.
