Bayern Munich moved to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson on loan to back up Harry Kane, but Chelsea revoked authorization after Liam Delap sustained an injury, prompting Chelsea to retain available options. Jackson was reportedly en route to Munich for a medical when the move was halted, and he is said to be furious. Jackson's agent Ali Barat and representatives remained in Munich attempting to negotiate a resolution before the transfer deadline. Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg first reported ongoing talks, then later reported Bayern had officially pulled out, while Bayern also explored Ademola Lookman as an alternative.
Unless something extraordinary happens, Agent Ali Barat and Nicolas Jackson will also stay in Munich this evening. The saga will be decided on Deadline Day. Bayern with Eberl/Dreesen, Barat and Chelsea are discussing the potential deal structure. The deal is still on hold but not off. In parallel, Bayern are holding negotiations with Atalanta/Lookman [@Plettigoal]
🚨❌ Excl | Nicolas #Jackson to FC Bayern - deal now 100% OFF. Decision made a few minutes ago. Bayern have officially pulled out. Jackson and Ali Barat will fly back to England. #CFC
Bayern's alternative - Atalanta's Ademola Lookman - is looking like a fruitless pursuit as well; it appears another case of a player looking for a way out of his current club and no current opportunity to take.
