Bayern Not Planning to Trigger Nicolas Jackson Buy Option, Reports Say

Overview

• Bild and subsequent reports indicate Bayern currently do not intend to activate the clause to sign the Chelsea loanee permanently at season’s end.
• Jackson has logged 12 appearances with three goals and one assist and has started five matches as Harry Kane leads the line with Luis Díaz and Michael Olise preferred wide and Jamal Musiala back in contention.
• Goal reports Bayern consider the price excessive and have explored alternatives, including October talks with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as relayed by Fabrizio Romano.
• Further reporting says Jackson plans to stay for the full season and is focused on earning more minutes rather than pursuing a January exit.
• The Senegal forward joined on deadline day on a season-long loan reported at €16.5 million after late uncertainty over Chelsea’s stance, according to Goal.
