Bayern make decision on Nicolas Jackson; rekindle interest in Dusan Vlahovic | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson will not leave Bayern Munich in the January transfer window. 

The Senegal international joined Bayern on loan on transfer deadline day in the summer window from Chelsea, with the Bavarian giants having the option to sign him permanently if specific appearance clauses are met.

Jackson has started in four Bundesliga games this season, and a further four appearances have come from the bench, scoring just one goal.

The Chelsea loanee has scored two goals in the Champions League, but he has been very disappointing so far.

The German champions paid a loan fee of £14.3m, and they have an obligation to pay £56.2m to sign him permanently; for that, Jackson has to start 40 games for Bayern to trigger the clause.

Bayern have no intention at the moment to trigger Jackson’s buying option. However, the former Villarreal striker is still expected to stay until the end of the season.

Other targets emerge for Bayern Munich

Bayern will look to sign a new striker next summer, as they need a backup option for Harry Kane, who is enjoying the form of his life, with 23 goals already to his name.

Kane has hinted that he wants to continue at Bayern, and could sign a new contract to prolong his stay at the German club.

Bayern have shown interest in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and we reported previously that he is interested in moving to the Bundesliga.

Last month, Tottenham Hotspur were thought to be leading the chase for Vlahovic, and Bayern appeared to have cooled their interest.

However, we gather information that Bayern are still monitoring the situation, and they are not out of the race as yet.

Bayern are still interested in FC Midtjylland forward Franculino Dju, but they could face competition from Premier League outfit Everton for his signature.
