"Nicolas Jackson and Chelsea will evaluate their options together in the summer when the 24-year-old striker is due to return from his season-long loan at Bayern Munich. The German giants agreed to pay £14.3million to have him for 2025-26. The agreement included a £56.2m obligation to buy if he reached a certain number of appearances but that is not set to be triggered, nor are Chelsea anticipating Bayern will pursue a separate permanent deal."
"Chelsea plan to assess the best way forward for everyone at the end of this season, including whether they should seek a sale again or if he should stay as a member of Liam Rosenior 's squad. Jackson's relationship with Enzo Maresca broke down, but Rosenior has shown a willingness to give players a clean slate since becoming the new Blues boss."
"He was left out of the Bayern squad for their German Cup clash with RB Leipzig last week, then an 86th-minute substitute in their Bundesliga victory over Werder Bremen on Saturday. Jackson insisted on his transfer to Bayern in the summer despite Chelsea looking at cancelling the deal at the eleventh hour when Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury. Delap pulled up with his issue on the same day that Jackson was travelling to Munich for his medical."
Nicolas Jackson will return to Chelsea in the summer after a season-long loan at Bayern Munich. Bayern paid £14.3m to have him for 2025-26, with a £56.2m obligation to buy tied to appearances that is not expected to be triggered. Interest existed from clubs in Italy, Spain and the Premier League last summer. Chelsea will assess whether to sell him again or keep him in Liam Rosenior's squad. Jackson's relationship with Enzo Maresca broke down, while Rosenior offers a clean slate. Jackson is focusing on impressing at Bayern, where he has scored five goals under Vincent Kompany.
