"Bayern Munich will not be forced to sign Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson permanently. The Senegalese striker needed to start/play at least 45 minutes in at least 40 Bundesliga or Champions League games this season for his switch to become permanent. He has currently done so in six games. However, with 23 league games and a maximum of ten Champions League games left in the season, that quota can no longer be filled."
"Even if Bayern had more games left, or if the deal included DFB-Pokal games, Jackson is likely to be called up for Senegal when they compete in the African Cup of Nations in the winter, which means a lengthy absence from his Bayern duties. So it seems Uli Hoeneß was right when he said a permanent deal for Jackson was never going to happen."
Bayern Munich will not be obligated to sign Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson permanently because he cannot reach the 40-game 45-minute appearance threshold. Jackson has recorded only six such appearances so far. With 23 Bundesliga fixtures and at most ten Champions League matches remaining, the required quota cannot be met. A likely Senegal call-up for the African Cup of Nations in winter would create a prolonged absence and further prevent meeting the appearance requirement. Jackson has four goals and one assist in 457 minutes across competitions and is likely to start against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga.
