Overview

• Deadline‑day switch from Chelsea to Bayern finalized on a €16.5 million loan with a purchase option around €65 million that only turns obligatory after a high appearance threshold.
• Bayern increased the loan fee from an initially agreed €15 million after Chelsea pushed for a sale or immediate obligation following Delap’s injury.
• Multiple reports say Jackson agreed to forgo part of the money due to him to help bridge the final gap in negotiations.
• Jackson traveled with his representatives to Munich and stayed to press for the move before departing for Senegal duty.
• International commitments now limit his early integration, with only about two training sessions before the Sept. 13 league match, and a likely AFCON call‑up could cost Bayern up to four games in late December and January.
