Overview

• On SPORT1’s Doppelpass on Sept. 8, Uli Hoeneß said Chelsea’s €65 million obligation would trigger only if Nicolas Jackson starts 40 matches and predicted that threshold will not be met.
• Hoeneß contended Bayern did not pay the full reported €16.5 million loan fee, estimating the club’s outlay at about €13 million because the player side contributes.
• Jackson’s agent Diomansy Kamara responded on Instagram that many talk but few tell the truth, indirectly disputing Hoeneß without naming him.
• English and Spanish media, including the Daily Mail, Mirror, The Sun, Marca and AS, amplified the dispute and detailed Hoeneß’s comments on the loan and clause.
• Beyond Jackson, Hoeneß lauded Bayern’s balanced squad, attacked inflated fees tied to Gulf-backed spending and Newcastle, and revived friction with Lothar Matthäus over valuations such as Nick Woltemade.
