Overview

• Jackson joined Bayern from Chelsea on a deadline-day season-long loan with a reported obligation to buy next summer for about £56m if appearance conditions are met.
• Uli Hoeneß disclosed that the clause requires 40 starts and stated there will “definitely not” be a permanent contract because he believes Jackson will not hit that mark.
• Hoeneß said the €16.5m loan fee was effectively reduced after the player and his agent contributed around €3m, lowering Bayern’s up-front outlay.
• The move was renegotiated in the final hours after Chelsea initially pulled out following Liam Delap’s hamstring injury, with cover arranged by recalling Marc Guiu from Sunderland.
• German outlet Bild reported Jackson waived part of a payment to help complete the deal, while the striker has said he has no regrets about leaving Chelsea and is fully focused on Bayern.
