Nicolas Jackson is refusing to return to Chelsea and is pressing to complete a loan move to Bayern Munich. Chelsea attempted to reverse the loan after Liam Delap's injury, but Jackson's camp refused and Jackson travelled to Munich for medical checks. Personal terms and a pre-contract for a permanent transfer from next summer are reportedly in place, with a fixed €65m buy option and a sell-on clause for Chelsea. The agreed loan fee is €15m and a five-year contract would activate if Bayern triggers the option. Vincent Kompany reportedly influenced Jackson's preference for Bayern. The deal's status remains uncertain while Delap-related issues are resolved.
While that situation sorts itself out, things made sense on some levels when Bayern Munich was reportedly going to get the Chelsea attacker. As of now, though, the deal appears to be dead ( we'll continue to monitor the situation) and while there still could be some movement, it is important to understand what Bayern Munich was attempting to do before Liam Delap's injury derailed things.
@TheAthleticFC confirms that personal terms between Bayern and Nicolas Jackson are already in place on a permanent contract from next summer if the club decided to trigger the option to buy. Nicolas Jackson has already agreed to a pre-contract with Bayern in case the option to buy is taken next summer. Option to buy is worth €65m fixed. There's also a sell-on clause for Chelsea if the deal becomes permanent.
