Jackson on deadline day: Striker reveals transfer drama experience | OneFootball

The transfer of Nicolas Jackson to FC Bayern was anything but easy for the Munich team and the player. Now, the Senegalese player has spoken about the transfer drama surrounding Deadline Day.

On the Saturday before Deadline Day, there was a bombshell at FC Bayern: FC Chelsea suddenly didn't want to go through with the loan of Nicolas Jackson anymore and wanted to bring the player back to London. The negotiations dragged on for two days, but in the end, the striker still signed with the Munich team.

In a conversation with tuttosport, Jackson now talked about the transfer drama. When asked how that weekend was for him emotionally, he replied: "Emotionally very intense, but not for the reasons you might suspect. I was simply very happy to sign with one of the biggest clubs in the world, to get to know another league and other great players. At the same time, I was a bit sad to leave Chelsea, my teammates, and the fans. I experienced so many strong emotions there."

The 24-year-old continued, "We won the Conference League and the Club World Cup. Now I'm 100% focused on my new project and can't wait to experience the incredible atmosphere in the Allianz Arena."

Then he spoke specifically about the two intense days and revealed: "To be honest, my agents and I were very confident. I never doubted that I would sign with FC Bayern, so I saw the situation "philosophically". I am in good health, as are my loved ones, and I am lucky to be a professional footballer. Everything else is unimportant. That's how I thought about it."

Jackson initially moves to FCB on loan, after which the club has an option to buy. This is said to be around 65 million euros. The loan fee is 16.5 million euros.
