The proposed transfer of Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich has hit a major stumbling block, leaving the player and his representatives attempting to salvage the deal. Jackson and his agent Ali Barat have remained in Munich trying to find a solution after a move that had seemed close. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap signings pushed Jackson down Chelsea’s pecking order, prompting his desire to leave for more playing time. Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury, prompting Chelsea to order Jackson back to London and revoke permission for his Bayern medical. Bayern remain hopeful and talks with Chelsea and the player's camp are scheduled to resume, with the outcome uncertain ahead of the transfer deadline.
The disruption comes after Chelsea ordered Jackson to return to London, following a hamstring injury suffered by Liam Delap, who was expected to feature more prominently in Enzo Maresca's plans this season. With Delap sidelined, the Blues have grown reluctant to weaken their attacking depth further by sanctioning Jackson's departure. As a result, permission for the Senegalese forward to undergo his planned medical with Bayern has been revoked.
Despite the setback, Bayern remain hopeful that negotiations can continue. Talks between the German champions, Chelsea, and Jackson's camp are scheduled to resume this morning. Bayern see Jackson as a versatile option to strengthen their attack and had been confident of striking a deal after weeks of discussions. The 24-year-old is said to be keen on the move, viewing Bayern as a step up in his career, but his immediate future now lies in Chelsea's hands.
