"Jackson already has a pre-contract agreed with Bayern, where he will join an attack that already contains Harry Kane up front. Jackson previously told Chelsea that he wanted to explore his options, as revealed by Daily Mail Sport. That saw him left out of their pre-season friendlies and also their opening fixtures in the Premier League. It came after the club signed Joao Pedro and Liam Delap over the summer, meaning he had serious competition for minutes."
"Enzo Maresca resisted forcing him to train with the other 'bomb squad' members in case he ended up staying. They had placed a valuation north of £80m on him originally. There is the possibility of Jackson returning next summer if Bayern do not take up their option when Chelsea would be forced to try to sell him all over again."
Chelsea agreed a loan deal with Bayern Munich for Nicolas Jackson potentially worth up to £69.2m. The club will receive an initial world-record £13m loan fee for the 2025-26 season and a further £56.2m if Bayern exercise their option next summer, with Chelsea retaining a sell-on fee. Jackson has signed a pre-contract with Bayern and would link up with Harry Kane. Jackson was omitted from Chelsea’s pre-season and opening fixtures after indicating he wanted to explore options, amid new competition from Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. Enzo Maresca avoided forcing him into bomb squad training. Chelsea had valued him north of £80m and may need to sell again if Bayern decline the option.
