The obligation to buy clause for Nicolas Jackson reportedly requires a very high number of appearances, making it unlikely to trigger. That structure would limit Bayern Munich’s obligation and reduce the long-term financial commitment for a player who had limited playing time at Chelsea. The combined cost cited includes a €65 million purchase obligation, €16.5 million loan fee, and a five-year contract with roughly €14 million annual salary, creating significant potential expenditure. Questions arise about squad planning and why alternative targets such as Nick Woltemade were not pursued. Matchday coverage and a podcast episode cover multiple Bundesliga storylines.
While a nice addition to complement the starters in Bavaria this season, the rumored total fee (€65 obligation to buy + €16.5 million loan fee + five-year contract with an annual salary of €14 million) is sort of ridiculous for a guy with no defined future role and also makes you wonder why Bayern Munich did not just buck up the €65-€70 million that VfB Stuttgart originally wanted for Nick Woltemade.
Matchday 2 delivered - and it almost feels cruel that we now have to wait two weeks for Bundesliga action. In this episode of the Bundesliga Rundown, Marcus covers: Why Hamburger SV never matched Bayern Munich's success What makes St. Pauli the most unique club in German football The thrilling 3-3 draw between Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen Why Bayer Leverkusen sacked Erik ten Hag in a historical fashion - and why Marcus thinks it might have been the right call ...and much, much, more.
