Alongside Jackson loan, Bayern eye another Chelsea player | OneFootball

The final transfer hours are underway – and FC Bayern remains active. Apparently, besides Jackson, another Chelsea player is on Munich's list.

The deal with Nicolas Jackson is not yet finalized, and already another name is emerging at Säbener Straße. According to information from Sky, the officials of the record champions are currently considering Tyrique George. The 19-year-old winger from Chelsea is seen as an exciting future project – also because of his flexibility in the offensive area.

George went through the Chelsea academy and signed a professional contract in June 2024 until 2027. In the 2024/25 season, he played 26 competitive matches, scored three goals, and appeared in the Premier League, Conference League, and Club World Cup. In the current 2025/26 season, the 19-year-old has not yet been on the field.

A permanent signing of George seems unlikely, however. According to Sky, Bayern remains firm after further consultation that they will only conduct loan deals until the deadline day – either with one or at most two players. Since Chelsea only has one loan spot available, George could only come if Jackson is not signed on loan or if the Londoners recall another loan player early. This situation makes the scenario complicated – and the time window is getting smaller.

That something might still happen at Bayern in the final moments of the transfer window is no surprise. Just a few days ago, Sports Director Max Eberl announced that they would "go full throttle again." Sports Director Christoph Freund also confirmed at the press conference before the Augsburg game: "I am fundamentally a positive person. Hopefully, something will happen. I rule nothing out. There are discussions, but there is nothing to announce yet."

Bayern is currently examining several scenarios – also for the wings. Because the current squad does not yet offer head coach Vincent Kompany the desired depth. Sky further reports that other clubs are also interested in Tyrique George, including RB Leipzig, AS Roma, and two clubs from Great Britain. Roma is said to have already made an initial offer, and Chelsea prefers a permanent departure for George as well.

The focus remains on Nicolas Jackson, whose loan move with a purchase option is almost complete. But it might not stop with just this one addition. Christoph Freund made it clear: "We rule nothing out. Discussions are taking place. In the last days of the transfer window, a lot happens on the market. We are involved, we are in discussions."
