Overview
- The deadline-day switch sent Nicolas Jackson to Bayern on a season-long loan for a reported €16.5 million fee with a €65 million purchase option that can become an obligation under set conditions.
- Uli Hoeneß described the reported trigger of about 40 starts as unrealistic, making an automatic purchase unlikely.
- Jackson has already featured for Bayern, including a late appearance in the 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea and a Bundesliga runout against Hamburg.
- Chelsea captain Reece James said he was surprised by the departure but praised Jackson and wished him well.
- Agent Diomansy Kamara says Bayern is the priority and, according to Sport Bild, all sides expect to revisit a permanent move in the spring, with kurierverlag reporting Jackson even contributed €3 million to the loan fee.
