Overview

• Multiple reports say Bayern Munich have a verbal agreement on personal terms with Jackson and are negotiating a loan that could include an obligation to buy.
• Chelsea are pushing for either a permanent sale or a loan with a mandatory purchase clause, resisting a straight loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
• Fee and structure remain the key hurdles, with Aston Villa’s interest stalling due to spending constraints and the loan cost cited by local reporting.
• Jackson’s entourage is in London to help finalise the move as the transfer window approaches its deadline next week.
• Chelsea have recruited Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, and reports say the club would want around £60m for a full sale after Jackson’s two-season return of 24 league goals and 10 assists.
