Nicolas Jackson Makes Bayern Debut After Turbulent Loan From Chelsea

The deal carries a hefty loan fee with a purchase clause tied to starts, a detail Jackson says is not his concern.

Senegal forward Nicolas Jackson has joined Bayern Munich from Chelsea on a season-long loan.

Overview

  • Jackson’s season-long move was finalized on deadline day after late talks when Chelsea briefly sought to recall him following Liam Delap’s injury.
  • Multiple outlets report Bayern agreed a €16.5 million loan fee with a €65 million obligation to buy.
  • Bayern figure Uli Hoeneß said the obligation triggers only if Jackson starts 40 games this season and claimed that threshold will not be reached.
  • Jackson dismissed focus on the clause, saying his job is to play, score and help the team win.
  • The 24-year-old came on in the second half of Bayern’s 5-0 win over Hamburg, with Vincent Kompany urging patience as he integrates after a disrupted preseason.
