Bayern Munich completed a season-long loan signing of striker Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea for a reported €16.5 million, with an obligation to buy for €65 million if appearance conditions are met. The 24-year-old Senegal international arrives to bolster a slim attacking group depleted by the departures of Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman. Jackson will primarily serve as backup to Harry Kane but can also operate on either wing. Harry Kane, 32, remains the focal point after a fast start to the season, leaving Jackson to prove his worth to trigger a permanent transfer.
In the end, after a lot of to and fro with Chelsea, Bayern eventually secured the services of striker-Nicolas Jackson on a season-long loan with the obligation to buy for €65 million, if the player makes a certain number of appearances over the course of the season. The initial loan fee is reportedly a staggering €16.5 million. With Jackson officially on board to bolster the offense, we now conclude Bayern's 2025/26 squad preview with a look at the attacking department, starting with the striker position.
Unsurprisingly, despite the arrival of Nicolas Jackson, Harry Kane will once again lead the attack for Bayern. At 32, the England captain is showing no signs of attrition. Kane has started the season in terrific form with five goals in four games, including a hat trick on opening day in the 6-0 hammering of Leipzig. Having tasted team success for the first-time last season when Die Roten regained the Bundesliga trophy, Kane would likely be even more hungry for success this time around.
