Uncertain future in Munich: Everton eye up Bayern star | OneFootball

Whether Nicolas Jackson will be permanently signed after his loan from FC Bayern is uncertain. On one hand, due to sporting reasons, and on the other, because the Munich team now has competition.

As reported by the British portal Football Insider, FC Bayern is currently leaning towards not exercising the purchase option for Nicolas Jackson. Accordingly, the Bayern executives have already held talks with Chelsea about reducing the amount. Rumor has it that the purchase option amounts to 65 million euros.

According to information from Football Insider, Bayern is facing competition for Jackson from FC Everton. Everton coach David Moyes is reportedly a big fan of the Senegalese national player.

Particularly intriguing: According to the portal, Everton is considering making a move as early as winter. However, for this to happen, Bayern and Chelsea would first need to agree on an early termination of the loan, which is very unlikely. By summer at the latest, they want to sign the forward.

Whether and how things will continue with Jackson at the end of the season in Munich is completely open at this point. Although Jackson feels "at home" and "very happy" in the Bavarian capital, his sporting performance has been mixed so far. He was in the starting lineup for the last two Bundesliga games and scored his first league goal in the 3-0 victory against Leverkusen, but he has only partially met the high expectations so far.

Adding to the challenge is that Jackson will miss several games at the beginning of the year due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.

What is certain is that a significant improvement in performance will be necessary for him to secure a permanent stay at FC Bayern. Jackson is also aware of this. He wants to "bring joy to the fans and repay the trust of my teammates and the coach," as he recently emphasized in an interview with the Bayern magazine 51.
