Overview

• Jackson said he has no regrets about his Chelsea spell and voiced respect for Enzo Maresca, calling Bayern a necessary next step in his career.
• Reporting describes a turbulent final 48 hours in which Chelsea revoked permission for a medical, Bayern considered walking away, and the sides reworked terms before completion.
• The agreement was widely reported as a season-long loan with a purchase obligation next summer, with figures such as a £13–14.3m loan fee and a £56m obligation cited by outlets.
• Chelsea’s additions of João Pedro and Liam Delap, plus Jackson’s inconsistent finishing and disciplinary issues, contributed to his fall down the pecking order.
• Jackson is expected to be available after the international break, with a potential debut against Hamburg on September 13 and a Champions League meeting with Chelsea four days later reported.
