Overview

• Max Eberl told ZDF Bayern would gladly take a forward on loan if he is fit, scores and has experience, adding of Nicolas Jackson that "when I read his résumé, he can do that."
• Uli Hoeneß publicly set a loan‑only directive for an additional attacker this window, which Eberl said he accepts while insisting there is no "dicke Luft" between them.
• Media reports say Bayern are negotiating with Chelsea over Jackson, with outlets citing a proposal for a season‑long loan without a purchase option, while Chelsea are reported to prefer a sale or a loan with an obligation to buy.
• Eberl acknowledged Bayern intentionally trimmed the squad to create space for youth but said the club could still use another offensive option for the workload across competitions.
• Jackson remains under contract at Chelsea through 2033 and logged roughly 10 league goals and 5 assists last season, factors that strengthen Chelsea’s position as talks continue under tight timing.
