"However, from my own view as a former player, I believe a contract is a contract. If you've agreed a contract with a club and they're paying your wages, then you do the job and you agree to do that. If you're sold or you come to an agreement, then fine you move on. But, and it's a big but, Chelsea weren't interested in keeping Jackson this summer, and it was obvious that he was going to be sold,"
"You can understand his frustrations, but then a club like Bayern Munich come in for you. I totally understand his anger because that's an opportunity that might not come back around. Bayern Munich is an opportunity of a lifetime, and because Chelsea had an injury problem, Jackson probably felt he was being used. In reality, I probably wouldn't have done what Jackson did, but I don't actually blame him for his actions."
Nicolas Jackson left Chelsea on loan for Bayern Munich after Chelsea made clear they were prepared to sell him and removed him from first-team plans. Jackson viewed the Bayern offer as an exceptional career opportunity and felt frustrated by being sidelined during a period of squad injuries. A contract-based obligation perspective contrasts with a player’s desire to seize elite chances. Jackson displayed pace and decent finishing but produced inconsistent form, including dismissals late in the season. The loan provided Jackson with a high-level chance and allowed Chelsea to adjust squad plans and seek financial benefit.
