Bayern Munich secured a late victory over Augsburg on matchday two while completing a dramatic transfer revival for Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea initially agreed a loan with an option to buy and allowed Jackson to undergo a medical in Munich, but an injury to Liam Delap forced Chelsea to revoke that permission. Jackson stayed in Munich as Bayern pushed to resurrect the deal. Chelsea added depth by recalling Marc Guiu from his loan at Sunderland, which cleared the way for Jackson's exit. Bayern reworked the transfer into a loan with an obligation to buy in 2026, agreed a five-year contract for Jackson, and paid a €16.5m loan fee.
Jackson was given permission to undergo medical in Munich. However, Liam Delap suffered a serious injury on Saturday afternoon, which forced the London-based club to revoke Jackson's permission to undergo medical. The Senegalese forward was eager to push through a move to Bayern. He didn't return to London as Bayern tried to resurrect the deal. Chelsea managed to add depth in their attack by recalling Marc Guiu from his loan spell at Sunderland.
Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sports in Germany, and several media outlets in England have reported that Bayern have successfully revived the deal to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. The Senegalese forward is poised to complete a move before the end of the transfer window later today. Chelsea had previously agreed a loan deal with an option to buy with Bayern for Nicolas Jackson early on Saturday.
