Everton Track Nicolas Jackson as Bayern Cool on £70m Buy Option

Talks to cut the fee have created an opening Everton are evaluating.

Overview

  • Sources report Bayern are increasingly unlikely to activate the £70 million clause to keep the on-loan Chelsea striker and have held discussions with Chelsea about a lower price.
  • Everton are prioritizing a striker in January and are monitoring Jackson alongside alternatives such as Ivan Toney and Richarlison, according to multiple reports.
  • Jackson has registered two goals and one assist in 10 appearances for Bayern since joining on loan on deadline day.
  • The 24-year-old has said he feels at home in Munich, adding uncertainty to whether he stays, returns to Chelsea, or moves elsewhere.
  • One report suggests Chelsea would still seek a hefty fee for a permanent sale, a valuation Everton may find difficult to match.
