Jackson on his goals with Bayern: "I want to bring joy to our fans" | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson is new in Munich and, after just a few weeks at FC Bayern, is already facing criticism. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve wearing the record champion’s jersey.

In an interview with the members’ magazine 51, the attacking player speaks openly about his motivation and his first weeks at the club. “I want to bring joy to our fans and repay the trust shown to me by my teammates and the coach.” Despite a mixed start at Bayern, the Senegalese remains determined and ambitious.

Jackson looks back on an eventful career—from his childhood in Senegal to Spain and England, and now to Germany. “Without football, I don’t know where I’d be today,” he says. At FC Bayern, he now wants to continue developing and emphasizes: “For me, it’s all about the here and now: giving everything for FC Bayern, developing myself further, and being successful with the team.”

According to information from Sky, a long-term future in Munich seems unlikely. The agreed purchase option of around 65 million euros is considered too expensive for the club. Even if the price were to be reduced, FC Bayern currently does not appear interested in a permanent transfer. The tendency is clearly towards a departure. A return to FC Chelsea or a move to another club is currently seen as the most likely scenario.

On the pitch, Jackson has rarely been able to impress so far. In the away win in Mönchengladbach, he put in a weak performance. Nevertheless, the striker remains positive and focused: “Yes, I do—but I’d rather keep them to myself until I’ve achieved them,” he replies when asked about his personal goals. In the coming weeks, it will likely be about getting more playing time—and perhaps still leaving a lasting impression.
