Chelsea deal could be a game-changer for Bayern in Jackson move | OneFootball

FC Bayern has a purchase obligation or option for Nicolas Jackson. However, there seems to be a backdoor regarding a possible permanent commitment of the striker.

According to information from Sport BILD, there is an agreement between the German record champion, FC Chelsea, and the player's side, to meet next spring if the agreed purchase obligation does not automatically apply.

The aim of the Bayern bosses could therefore be to discuss a permanent commitment - but at a price that is below the stipulated sum that would be due if certain deployment criteria are met.

Honorary President Uli Hoeneß recently made it public that Jackson must play at least 40 official matches from the start for the loan to automatically become a purchase worth 65 million euros.

Does Nicolas Jackson have a future at FC Bayern?

Jackson himself is not impressed by this. He told Sport BILD: "At the moment I am only focusing on giving everything this season. Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world - with great fans, a great coach and a real will to win. If everything goes well and everyone is satisfied, I would of course like to stay. But now it's about the present, working hard and enjoying every moment on and off the pitch."

Jackson made his debut in Bayern's 5:0 win against HSV last Saturday.

The 24-year-old was loaned from Chelsea on Deadline Day for 16.5 million euros . Three million of this was taken over by the player's side. The purchase obligation only applies under clearly defined conditions, otherwise it is a non-binding option. Bayern wants to secure flexibility with this, but at the same time be prepared if Jackson meets expectations. An agreement on a reduced price would then be possible.

Will Jackson get a chance against Chelsea?

Sporting Director Max Eberl spoke of a "hard fight" after the complicated poker for the deal. It is all the more important to keep the striker in the long term if he proves to be a reinforcement. Jackson himself focuses on the essentials: goals, assists and successes with the record champion. Whether there is a purchase obligation, a negotiated transfer fee or no permanent transfer at all, now largely depends on his season performance.

On Wednesday evening, Bayern will meet Chelsea in the first group match of the Champions League at the Allianz Arena . Whether Jackson will get a chance against his former club is still open. After his debut against Hamburg, the match against the Londoners could be an opportunity for the striker to recommend himself for a long-term future at Bayern beyond the season.
