Bayern Agree Record Loan for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson With €65m Option

Jackson is set for a medical in Germany after Chelsea accepted an option to buy rather than an obligation.

Overview

  • Sources report Bayern will pay an upfront €15m (£13m) loan fee, with a €65m (£56.2m) purchase option and a sell-on clause, making the package worth about £70m.
  • Chelsea have granted the 24-year-old permission to travel to complete his medical, with personal terms understood to be agreed and final signatures pending.
  • Reporting describes the fee as record-setting for a loan, reflecting Bayern’s preference this window for temporary deals structured with options.
  • Jackson’s move follows his slide down Chelsea’s pecking order after the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer.
  • At Bayern, he is expected to provide competition and cover for Harry Kane, with local reports suggesting he could also partner the England striker when required.
