Overview

• Talks are advanced with personal terms agreed between Nicolas Jackson and Bayern Munich, leaving the transfer formula as the key issue.
• Bayern are prepared to cover Jackson’s full salary, with reports citing a figure of about €7 million for the season.
• Chelsea have told bidders they will accept a loan only with an obligation to buy and are indicating a loan fee of roughly £10 million.
• Club sources and multiple reports suggest Chelsea may wait for clarity on Alexander Isak’s situation before giving final approval.
• Bayern are leading the race despite interest from Aston Villa, Newcastle, AC Milan and Napoli, as Jackson has fallen down Chelsea’s pecking order after summer additions.
