Will Bayern make a move? Chelsea open to talks over Jackson transfer fee | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson is currently on loan from FC Chelsea to FC Bayern. The agreement includes a purchase option of 65 million euros. However, it seems that the German record champion could secure the Senegalese striker for a lower sum.

In the 5:1 victory in the Champions League against Pafos FC, Jackson celebrated his first two direct goal involvements in the Bayern jersey. The 24-year-old scored a goal himself and set up another one. Under Vincent Kompany, he is planned as a flexible offensive player who can be used not only in the center of the attack, but also in a hanging role.

The Senegalese himself can well imagine staying in Munich beyond the one-year loan. According to information from the British portal Football Insider, FC Chelsea is also pushing for a permanent departure. Since Jackson no longer plays a role in the Blues' plans, they want to let him go for good in the summer.

Bayern probably does not have to pay the original purchase option of 65 million euros in full. According to the report, Chelsea would be willing to lower the transfer fee in order to remove Jackson from the payroll. The Premier League club's goal is to permanently transfer the striker and streamline the squad structure.

At the same time, TBR Football reports that Bayern has already made a decision: Jackson should stay. According to BILD, a five-year contract with the offensive player has even been negotiated, which would come into effect in the event of a permanent transfer.

Jackson is considered a versatile striker who can play a role both as a classic number nine and in combination with Harry Kane. This makes him a perfect fit for Kompany's plans, which focus on flexibility in attack.
