Mega deal sealed: Bayern sign Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea | OneFootball

FC Bayern has successfully completed its search for a new offensive player: Nicolas Jackson is moving on loan from Chelsea to Munich.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement between both clubs. Sky also reports that it is a done deal.

Accordingly, Bayern is paying a loan fee of 15 million euros for one season. Additionally, a purchase option of 80 million euros was agreed upon, which is not mandatory. If Bayern wants to permanently sign Jackson, they would need to pay the remaining 65 million euros to Chelsea.

The loan fee represents an internal record for FC Bayern: Munich has never paid so much for a loan player.

If Jackson is ever resold, Chelsea will receive a resale participation. The 24-year-old forward is expected in Munich today to complete his final formalities.

According to information from transfer expert Ben Jacobs, Jackson has already signed a pre-contract with Bayern in case the purchase option is exercised next summer.

Thus, the deal is finalized, on which Munich had recently been working intensively. As reported in recent days, signing a flexible offensive player was a top priority for sports director Max Eberl. Jackson fits the desired profile: The Senegalese impresses with dynamism, physical presence, and the ability to play in multiple offensive positions.

Bayern urgently needed offensive reinforcement

In 81 competitive games for Chelsea, Jackson scored 30 goals and provided twelve assists. The striker, who moved from FC Villarreal to London in the summer of 2023, has already gained experience at the international level and won the Club World Cup and the Conference League with the Blues.

As early as Friday, it became apparent that the transfer could be completed before the weekend. An agreement had long been reached with the player himself, as Jackson was eager to move to Munich. For Bayern, the transfer is also an important signal: After the departure of Kingsley Coman and the injury problems of Jamal Musiala, offensive reinforcement was urgently needed.

Now, the record champion has made a significant move just before the end of the transfer period. Jackson is expected to complement the offense alongside Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, and Michael Olise – and provide FCB with additional firepower for the Bundesliga and Champions League.
