"Bayern Munich did, indeed, eventually make a loan deal with Chelsea for Nicolas Jackson before the transfer window ended, but it appears that everything - and we mean everything - was on the terms of the Bavarians. Not only was the fee lower than the reported €16.5 million (Uli Hoeneß says is was €13.5 million), but per Kicker (via @iMiaSanMia), Jackson has to play in 40 games to trigger the obligation to buy clause."
"One caveat to that, is that the only games that count toward that total are for the Bundesliga and Champions League. So, yes, Bayern Munich has full and utter control over how this plays out: The DFB Pokal does not count in the 40 games Nicolas Jackson would have to start to make the option to buy mandatory (Only Bundesliga and Champions League). That would be a maximum of 49 games (32 Bundesliga and 17 CL up to the final and including playoffs)."
"Wow...Germany was on the ropes vs. Northern Ireland, but a strong second half effort helped Julian Nagelsmann's team pull away for a 3-1 victory. It was ugly at times and desperate at others, but this was somehow a must win match for a squad that was absolutely reeling after getting stomped out by Slovakia earlier in the week. The Germans absolutely needed this victory and it could have been disastrous had things not turned around in the latter stages of the game."
Bayern Munich completed a loan for Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea at a reported lower fee of about €13.5 million, with an obligation to buy only if Jackson plays 40 matches. Only Bundesliga and Champions League appearances count toward the 40-match threshold, excluding the DFB Pokal and other fixtures, creating a maximum of 49 eligible matches and allowing Bayern to manage the trigger. Jackson may miss games due to AFCON. Separately, Germany recovered from a heavy defeat to beat Northern Ireland 3-1 after a stronger second half, a crucial response following the prior loss to Slovakia.
