Nicolas Jackson completed a loan move to Bayern Munich that includes a conditional obligation to buy, with the total package reportedly worth €80.5m (£69.3m). Chelsea initially withdrew from the transfer after Liam Delap sustained an injury in their win over Fulham, but the clubs later reached an agreement. Chelsea recalled Marc Guiu from a loan at Sunderland as part of the rearrangement. Jackson scored 30 goals in 81 games across all competitions for Chelsea since joining from Villarreal in 2023. Bayern expect Jackson to provide dynamism and presence in attack, though he is likely to play second fiddle to Harry Kane. Left-back Ben Chilwell left Chelsea for Strasbourg on a permanent deal late in the window.
Nicolas Jackson has completed his loan move to Bayern Munich after a topsy-turvy transfer saga. Striker Jackson was in Munich over the weekend to complete the formalities of his move from the Blues. However, Chelsea withdrew from the transfer after Liam Delap sustained an injury in their win over Fulham on the weekend. Bayern stated on Saturday that the deal was no longer going ahead, yet on Monday, the clubs found an agreement.
"Nicolas was immediately keen to play for Bayern, so we're especially pleased that things have finally worked out. Even at a young age, he already has lots of experience at a top international level and has shown his qualities. Nicolas is an ideal fit for the profile we're looking for with his dynamism and presence. He's hungry and will expand our options in attack with his abilities, being an immediate boost for our team."
