Jackson joined Bayern on a season long loan on deadline day last summer, but has played second fiddle to the likes of Harry Kane and Luis Diaz for the majority of the season.
The 24-year-old has scored ten goals in 29 appearances in all competitions, but only 13 of those have come as starts.
Jackson will return to Chelsea at the end of the season, where a decision will then be taken on what to do next.
There have been reports Jackson is open to playing for Chelsea again, but he’s also attracting interest from a number of clubs.
AC Milan are reportedly interested in Jackson, whilst clubs in Saudi Arabia are thought to be monitoring the situation, and Romano has now provided an update.
He took to X.com and said:
“Nicolas Jackson will return to Chelsea in June as FC Bayern are NOT triggering €65m buy option clause.
“Bayern director Eberl confirms the decision to ZDF, as reported since January.
“Chelsea and Jackson’s camp will assess his future with possible new move in the summer.”
