Overview

• The 24-year-old joins from Chelsea on a one-year loan for a reported €16.5 million, with a purchase option around €65 million that could become an obligation based on high appearance thresholds.
• Talks nearly collapsed when Chelsea pushed for a sale or immediate obligation after Liam Delap’s thigh injury, leading the clubs to raise the loan fee from €15 million.
• Jackson left Munich to join Senegal for World Cup qualifiers, leaving only brief training time before a possible debut against Hamburg on September 13.
• He is expected to be at the Africa Cup in Morocco from December 21 to January 18, which could cost Bayern up to four Bundesliga matches during that period.
• Analysts suggest Vincent Kompany could explore a two‑striker setup with Harry Kane, though Jackson may initially serve as rotational cover.
