Overview

• Bayern confirmed the move late on deadline day, bringing the 24-year-old forward in on loan through the end of the season.
• Jackson’s agent disclosed a €16.5 million loan fee and a €65 million purchase option that could become an obligation after a high number of appearances, figures the clubs have not officially detailed.
• The agent hailed the fee as a world record, a claim questioned by outlets citing higher totals in past multi-year loans, though it stands as the Bundesliga’s costliest loan.
• FAZ reported that Bayern’s supervisory board instructed executives to prioritize loans over permanent transfers, a directive that helped shape the deal’s expensive, option-heavy design.
• Sporting director Max Eberl credited Jackson’s persistence in pushing the move over the line, and the player said he has big goals at Bayern; he has yet to make his debut.
