Jackson to stay for good? Bayern chiefs leaning towards a decision | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, there seems to be a tendency regarding the future of loan player Nicolas Jackson.

According to information from Sky, the Bayern bosses have made an initial decision: A permanent signing of the loan striker from FC Chelsea is currently not on the agenda.

“FC Bayern has an initial tendency, and that is that they will definitely not sign him as of now. The package is too expensive. The tendency is towards departure,” explained Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg. Accordingly, the Munich club will not permanently sign the 23-year-old next summer for 30 or 40 million euros either.

The big goal for summer 2026 is clearly defined: FC Bayern wants to sign a backup striker for Harry Kane. They also want to extend the contract with the English top scorer.

New name brought into play at FC Bayern

As a concrete candidate for the backup role, Sky brought Fisnik Asllani from TSG Hoffenheim into play. The Kosovo national player still has a contract until 2029 in Kraichgau, but it apparently contains a release clause of an undisclosed amount. Transfermarkt.de currently values him at 18 million euros.

Jackson's loan contract with FC Bayern includes a purchase option, but the agreed transfer fee – around 65 million euros – is significantly too high for the Munich club. Even a possible reduction by Chelsea would probably not change the minds of the decision-makers.

The Blues would like to sell Jackson in the summer. The Chelsea bosses would likely be willing to negotiate and accept a reduced transfer fee.

So far, the Senegalese player has not really impressed at the German record champions. Recently, he showed a poor performance in the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach and received an FCBinside rating of 5.
