Bayern Munich's planned loan signing of Nicolas Jackson collapsed when Chelsea withdrew from the agreement after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury during the Fulham game. Jackson had travelled to Munich for a medical and reportedly does not want to return to London, but Chelsea exercised their right to cancel. Bayern had agreed a loan with a €15 million fee and a €65 million buy option for next summer, plus a pre-agreed long-term contract if a permanent move occurs in 2026. Bayern will respond after the Augsburg match, Jackson's agents may push to revive the deal, and Bayern must explore other attacking options.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea have informed Bayern that they will not be going ahead with the transfer of Nicolas Jackson. Jackson is currently in Munich to complete his medical. The Senegalese forward doesn't want to go back to London, but Chelsea are well within their rights to cancel the deal. Max Eberl confirmed that Bayern will respond to Chelsea's decision after the game against Augsburg. Meanwhile, Jackson's agents are likely to make one last push to salvage the transfer.
Earlier on Saturday, Bayern had agreed a loan deal for Jackson with an option to buy. The Bavarian club was set to give a hefty loan fee of €15 million. Bayern had an option to sign him permanently next summer for €65 million. Rekordmeister have agreed terms of a long-term contract with the forward in case they decide to sign him permanently in 2026
