Jackson’s Bayern move back on, deal sealed

Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson is set to join Bayern Munich on loan after both clubs agreed on a revised deal.

The updated agreement includes a €16.5 million loan fee up from the original €15 million and features a buy clause with an obligation to purchase in 2026, as Chelsea requested.

Jackson has already agreed to a five-year contract with the German champions.

The striker’s agent also highlighted that Chelsea may rely on Jackson due to Liam Delap’s injury, but the new agreement now clears the way for Jackson’s move.
