Bayern Munich reached agreement to sign Nicolas Jackson on loan for 2025-26, with a €15m fee, salary coverage for the season and an option to buy next summer. Chelsea would have received a potential total package worth €80m if Bayern made the move permanent; Chelsea paid €37m for Jackson in 2023. Jackson had arrived in Germany for a medical, but Chelsea reportedly told Bayern they will not proceed after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury. Chelsea asked Jackson to return to London but the player’s camp reportedly refused, creating a complicated situation.
However, in a bizarre twist of events, the deal could be cancelled, despite Jackson having landed in Germany for his medical treatment. Chelsea to cancel Nicolas Jackson's loan deal? Chelsea won 2-0 against Fulham in their Premier League clash on Saturday, but Liam Delap was forced off in the first half due to injury. The 22-year-old had to be withdrawn inside the opening 15 minutes after he picked up a hamstring injury, and this has altered Chelsea's transfer plans.
Bayern agreed to pay €15m fee to sign Jackson and wanted to cover his entire salary for the season. The deal also included the option to buy him permanently next summer. Chelsea would have received a total package worth €80m (£69.2m) for the player they paid €37m (£32m) for in 2023, should Bayern sign him permanently. It was thought that Jackson would drop down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
