"Bayern Munich chiefs managed to achieve the targets set for the winter transfer window. They have managed to define the futures of key players. Bayern have confirmed contract extensions for Serge Gnabry and Dayot Upamecano. Meanwhile, Sacha Boey left the club on a loan deal to Galatasaray. The Bavarian club will now start focusing on the targets for the summer transfer window. Die Roten have also made a crucial decision on the future of one forward, which potentially makes signing a forward mandatory at the end of the season."
"The record Bundesliga champions signed Jackson on deadline day from Chelsea for a loan fee close to €16.5 million. Bayern had to make the move permanent for 65 if Jackson had played €45 minutes or more in 40 games across all competitions. It was always a long shot that Die Roten would have to activate the option since Jackson wouldn't have met this criterion due to the AFCON and his late arrival at the club. Most importantly, he had to compete with Harry Kane for the number nine position."
"Jackson will have plenty of options in the summer Even though Jackson has not been an outright success at Bayern, he will have plenty of options in the summer. He was unfortunate to compete with Kane for a place in the starting XI at Bayern. The Englishman is currently the best number nine in Europe. Moreover, Jackson didn't have a proper pre-season since he was training away from the first team at Chelsea. In short cameos at Bayern, Jackson has shown glimpses of his tale"
Bayern secured winter window targets by extending Serge Gnabry and Dayot Upamecano and loaning Sacha Boey to Galatasaray. The club will shift focus to summer transfer targets and has ruled out pursuing a permanent deal for Nicolas Jackson, who will return to Chelsea. Jackson joined on a deadline-day loan for about €16.5 million with a conditional obligation to buy if he met stringent playing-time criteria that were unlikely due to AFCON and his late arrival. Jackson faced competition from Harry Kane and had limited pre-season integration, prompting Bayern to seek other attacking options.
