No chance for other clubs: Bayern’s plan for Jackson | OneFootball

FC Bayern apparently has a clear future plan for Nicolas Jackson. If the Munich club wants a permanent signing, they hold all the cards.

According to information from Sport BILD, a prepared five-year contract for Jackson has long been sitting in the drawer, which would become valid immediately in the event of a permanent transfer. Everything would be settled as soon as Bayern decides to activate the purchase option for the striker—other clubs would then have no opportunity to interfere in the deal.

The purchase option for Jackson is set at 65 million euros and can be exercised by Bayern independently of the appearance clause until mid-May. Originally, it was agreed that the loan would automatically turn into a purchase as soon as the Senegalese player reached at least 40 starting appearances. However, honorary president Uli Hoeneß recently indicated that this scenario is rather unlikely. Nevertheless, the club still has the option to secure the player long-term even with fewer appearances.

Jackson’s agent, Ali Barat, was optimistic early on that Bayern would ultimately complete the permanent transfer. In an interview with RMC Sport he explained: “You know, it’s a long season. They have a mandatory purchase option, but also an option for 65 million euros (with fewer than 40 games). So I think if Nico Jackson performs well this season, they should buy him considering the current market price for strikers is 65 million euros.”

Jackson has yet to impress at Bayern

In sporting terms, Jackson has not really taken off so far. The 24-year-old himself is cautious and emphasizes that he wants to fully focus on the current season first. “Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. If everything goes well and everyone is satisfied, I would of course like to stay,” said the attacking player.

However, it is not entirely out of the question that Bayern will try to negotiate the price down. Sport BILD reports that the record champions want to hold further talks with Chelsea and the player’s side next spring. A model like Borussia Dortmund’s deal with Carney Chukwuemeka could serve as an example: letting the purchase option expire in order to strike a cheaper deal afterwards.

But one thing is already clear: Jackson’s future is primarily in the hands of FC Bayern. Thanks to the prepared contract and the fixed purchase option, the Munich club holds all the cards—and can decide for themselves whether to secure the striker long-term.
