Overview

• Jackson joined Bayern from Chelsea on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy worth about £56.2m (€64.7m) if he reaches 40 starts.
• Hoeneß said the reported €16.5m loan fee was effectively reduced by roughly €3m contributed by the player and his agent.
• Agent Diomansy Kamara publicly pushed back on Hoeneß’s version of events, writing that “many speak, but few tell the truth.”
• German outlet Bild reported Jackson waived part of a payment due to him after Chelsea raised the loan fee during deadline-day talks.
• The deal followed a brief collapse after Liam Delap’s injury and Chelsea’s recall of Marc Guiu, and commentators frame Jackson as an understudy with Harry Kane still first choice through 2027.
