Overview

• Multiple outlets report Chelsea pulled out of the near-complete loan after Liam Delap suffered a thigh injury against Fulham, with an internal expectation of roughly eight weeks out.
• The clubs had been working toward a loan with a €15 million fee, reported as a Bundesliga record, plus a €65 million purchase option.
• Contracts were described as ready with only the medical outstanding, and Jackson was photographed at Munich airport on Saturday.
• Chelsea have reportedly instructed Jackson to return to London and rejoin first-team duties, though the player’s camp was said to favor the move.
• Eberl declined to confirm a collapse, noting transfers are only done once signed and indicating Bayern would address the matter post-match.
