Overview
- Bayern completed a season-long loan from Chelsea for €16.5 million, which includes a €65 million purchase option.
- The clause would convert to an obligation only if Jackson starts 40 matches across Bundesliga plus Champions League, with DFB-Pokal appearances excluded.
- Uli Hoeneß told Sport1 he does not expect Jackson to reach the 40-start requirement, indicating limited risk of an automatic purchase.
- Jackson is expected to operate mainly as cover for Harry Kane, with potential minutes in a two‑striker setup or on the wing under Vincent Kompany.
- Senegal duty at the Africa Cup in January is expected to cost him matches, further reducing the likelihood of meeting the starts threshold.
