"Bayern's hierarchy and former club president Uli Hoeneß had made it clear they felt it was unrealistic Jackson would meet the clause requirements in the buy-on option of the loan deal that stipulated he would get 45+ minutes in 40+ games this season."
"Jackson's camp had been remaining subtly hopeful that a permanent buy could be made by Bayern and the striker could make a full transfer away from Chelsea, knowing that it likely would've meant a lot of renegotiations of specific terms and conditions with the Blues."
"From his total of 30 appearances across all competitions so far this season, Jackson has tallied 10 goals and 4 assists in addition to winning the African Cup of Nations with Senegal."
"As things stand, Chelsea still feel Jackson's market value is somewhere around 60 million pounds, but Bayern's standpoint is that trying to find a backup striker for Kane in the transfer market is the more feasible option than the 65-million-euro purchase."
Bayern Munich has decided against making a permanent purchase of Nicolas Jackson, who is on loan from Chelsea. The loan deal included a €65 million buy-on option contingent on Jackson playing 45+ minutes in 40+ games. Given his role as Harry Kane's backup, this condition was deemed unrealistic. Jackson has made 30 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 4 assists. Chelsea values him at around £60 million, but Bayern prefers to seek alternative backup striker options.
