Overview

• Sporting director Max Eberl said Chelsea asked for Jackson back and confirmed Bayern will send the striker to London.
• Chelsea’s reversal followed Liam Delap’s thigh injury against Fulham, with reports indicating an expected absence of around eight weeks.
• The proposed deal was a one‑year loan with a €15 million fee and a €65 million purchase option, pending medical and signatures as Jackson arrived in Munich.
• Jackson and representatives initially stayed in Munich and signaled reluctance to return, but Eberl emphasized the player remains under contract with Chelsea.
• Bayern faces a tight timeline before Monday 20:00 to secure attacking cover, with reports linking the club to a possible loan move for Loïs Openda.
