"New details provided by Philipp Kessler, Hanna Raif and Vinzent Tschirpke have since emerged over the obligation in Jackson's contract and it turns out Hoeneß wasn't one hundred percent correct (via @iMiaSanMia). It turns out Jackson's appearances are not only linked to starting appearances but also every time he plays 45 minutes, not including added time. While the new details, in all likelihood, won't change the outcome, it is an important distinguishment."
"Bayern Munich is in a very interesting part of its season, which is sandwiched between two international breaks. How equipped is Bayern Munich to deal with its next slate of matches? Rotation and youth integration are supposed to be keys for this season. Will Vincent Kompany be able to make it all work? How does this stretch compare to what lies ahead?"
Uli Hoeneß stated that the obligation to buy Nicolas Jackson would only activate if Jackson 'plays 40 games from the start.' The clause actually counts appearances of 45 minutes or more, excluding added time, rather than strictly starts. That distinction raises the probability that the obligation will be triggered, since playing over 45 minutes is more likely than starting 40 times, though the exclusion of added time means a player would have to be substituted in at or before halftime to qualify. The revised detail reduces perceptions of Bayern exploiting Chelsea. Bayern faces a compact fixture run between international breaks with rotation, youth integration, and Vincent Kompany's management in focus.
