"During an appearance on SPORT1-Doppelpass (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Uli Hoeneß remarked that the terms in the deal with Chelsea for Nicolas Jackson have been overstated. Hoeneß, though, doubled down and said that rumors obligation to buy clause in the deal was nonsense and that the trigger is actually 40 starts - not 40 appearances:"
"Uli Hoeneß reveals that Nicolas Jackson and his agent took over €3m of the loan fee. So Bayern 'only' had to pay €13.5m. Hoeneß also reveals that the option to buy becomes mandatory if Jackson STARTS 40 games. Hoeneß says: 'he (Jackson) will never do them' Hoeneß went on to address it directly. "It's not a €16.5 million loan fee, because the player and his agent are contributing €3 million, so that leaves €13.5 million. And there will definitely not be a permanent contract. That only happens if he plays 40 games from the start. He will never do that," Hoeneß said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Thomas Müller was back at Bayern Munich this week (already!?) Is Germany heading down a bad road after another painful loss? Can Julian Nagelsmann get it back on track? Who is accountable? Is there accountability at all? Should Joshua Kimmich do the right thing and move to right-back (again)? Unpacking the Erik ten Hag debacle at Bayer Leverkusen. Sport Bild had a wild story on the situation."
Uli Hoeneß clarified that the reported €16.5m loan fee for Nicolas Jackson was overstated because the player and his agent covered €3m, leaving Bayern to pay €13.5m. The optional purchase becomes mandatory only if Jackson starts 40 matches, a threshold Hoeneß said the player will never reach. The loan therefore operates as insurance for the current season given the fee involved. Bayern Munich is on break while the German national team has struggled in World Cup qualifying. Upcoming podcast topics include Thomas Müller’s return, Germany’s form, Julian Nagelsmann’s situation, Joshua Kimmich’s position, and an Erik ten Hag story at Leverkusen.
