Interesting development for the bosses: Bayern star makes key decision | OneFootball

A Bayern star has apparently made a decision about his future – this puts those in charge in a comfortable situation.

According to information from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, it currently seems that Nicolas Jackson no longer wants to play for FC Chelsea. The atmosphere around Jackson suggests that he will no longer play for Chelsea and his time at the club is over, Romano reported.

This puts Munich in a comfortable situation: They can decide in the summer of 2026 whether they want to exercise the agreed purchase option and commit to Jackson for 65 million euros – or even try to lower the price if no other club is found that would transfer so much to Chelsea for Jackson.

Both Chelsea and the player are reportedly open to the transfer to Munich being finally sealed – otherwise, Jackson could look for another club.

Will Nicolas Jackson stay with FC Bayern in the long term?

The 24-year-old only switched from the Blues to the German record champions on the last day of the summer transfer window. For the current season, Bayern is paying a guaranteed loan fee of 16.5 million euros. In addition, there is a contractually stipulated obligation to buy, which automatically applies if Jackson is in the starting line-up in at least 40 competitive matches. Honorary President Uli Hoeneß recently emphasized, however, that this clause is more theoretical in nature. Accordingly, the coming summer is considered crucial for Jackson's future.

Jackson's advisor Ali Barat also believes that despite the high transfer fee, Munich has a good chance of keeping the striker in the long term. "You know, it's a long season. They have a mandatory purchase option, but also an option for 65 million euros (for less than 40 games). So I think if Nico Jackson performs well this season, they should buy him considering the current market price for strikers of 65 million euros," Barat said in an interview with RMC Sport a few weeks ago. However, much depends on the sporting development of the offensive player.

So far, Jackson has not been able to convince at the record champions. In the Champions League, he only made a brief appearance against Chelsea, in the Bundesliga he played half a game in the 5:0 victory over HSV and about an hour in the 4:1 win at TSG Hoffenheim. So far, he has not been able to make an impact in his appearances.

According to information from Sport BILD, it is planned that Bayern, Chelsea, and the Jackson camp will sit down again in the spring to assess the situation – provided the obligation to buy is not triggered by frequent appearances anyway.

The goal of Munich is to lower the price as much as possible. The handling of Borussia Dortmund with Carney Chukwuemeka is cited as a model in the club's management: BVB let a purchase option expire at that time in order to commit the player later at significantly cheaper conditions.
