Chelsea are willing to loan Nicolas Jackson this week only if the arrangement contains an obligation to buy next summer, rejecting a pure short-term loan for 2025-26. Jackson's potential exit has extended into the final week of the transfer window as the club monitored Alexander Isak's unsettled situation at Newcastle, which could reshape striker targets. Jackson indicated his interest in a move and was omitted from a pre-season squad. Multiple clubs have enquired, with Bayern Munich viewed as frontrunners, and Napoli, Aston Villa and Newcastle also linked amid broader striker activity.
Chelsea are now open to Nicolas Jackson leaving on loan this week if their preference of a permanent sale is not forthcoming - but under one condition. The agreement must include an obligation to buy for next summer, with Confidential told the Blues see little point in purely loaning out their 24-year-old striker for the 2025-26 season without any promise of a clean separation.
Bayern Munich have been bigged up as the frontrunners for Jackson and the German side are indeed interested in adding him to an attack already featuring Harry Kane, having held talks over a loan deal in the last few days. That includes Napoli, Aston Villa and Newcastle, who have seen two bids worth £50m and £55m knocked back for Jorgen Strand Larsen of Wolves in the last week.
