Bayern move confirmed! Jackson’s agent seals the transfer | OneFootball

The tug-of-war between FC Bayern and FC Chelsea has ended: Nicolas Jackson is joining the German record champions. The Senegalese's advisor confirmed the deal. Previously, the transfer was already threatened to fail - now a solution has been found.

It was a transfer with many twists and turns. Already on Saturday, both clubs had basically agreed, but the severe injury of Chelsea's new signing Liam Delap made the deal burst at short notice. The Blues stopped the 24-year-old's medical check in Munich and ordered him back to London.

But the chapter ended positively for Bayern: Late on Monday evening, Jackson's advisor Diomansy Kamara confirmed the transfer in an Instagram story. "Today a new adventure begins. Jackson is fully focused on Bayern Munich and wants to give his best and continue to develop at the highest level," Kamara wrote.

The Munich team itself has not yet officially confirmed the transfer.

Loan fee, salary, purchase option

According to consistent media reports from Germany and England, Jackson will initially play for FC Bayern on loan until the end of the season. The Munich team is paying around 16.5 million euros for this - a new record value for a loan at Säbener Straße.

Part of the agreement is also that the German record champion takes over the full salary of the Senegalese, which is about 14 million euros gross per year. In addition, there is a purchase option of 65 million euros, which could even become mandatory under certain conditions. However, according to BILD, it is unlikely that these will be met. If the option is exercised, Jackson would sign in Munich until 2031.

The sudden injury of Delap had put Chelsea under pressure. In order to cushion the departure of Jackson, the Blues broke off the loan of Marc Guiu at Sunderland. This finally cleared the way for the transfer to Munich.

For FC Bayern, this ends a tough struggle with a happy ending. Sporting director Max Eberl was able to present a urgently needed reinforcement for the offensive just before the transfer window closed.
