"The Senegal striker and his agent refused to return to Chelsea, and in the closing stages of the transfer window, he moved to Bayern on loan after intense negotiations. Bayern agreed to pay a loan deal of £14.3m, and an obligation of a further £56.2m should they acquire his services on a full-time basis. However, there is a catch. Jackson must start 40 games for Bayern to trigger the clause, and that looks highly unlikely."
"The striker made his first start in the Bundesliga against Hoffenheim last week, and he looked off the pace. Apart from one long-range effort, Jackson hardly made any contribution and was taken off after the hour mark. He is expected to get more opportunities in the coming weeks, but it looks doubtful that Bayern would pay that amount for him."
Bayern Munich can decide whether to sign Nicolas Jackson permanently for €65m next summer. Jackson has a contract at Chelsea until 2023, but doubts exist about a return to Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old striker scored 30 goals and provided 12 assists in 81 appearances after moving from Villarreal. He became surplus after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Chelsea recalled him following Delap's injury, but Jackson and his agent refused to return, completing a loan to Bayern. The loan fee is £14.3m with an obligation of £56.2m if he starts 40 games, a threshold that looks unlikely. His first Bundesliga start was underwhelming, and Bayern may renegotiate or decline the permanent deal.
