Nicolas Jackson Joins Bayern Munich on Loan
Bayern Munich have agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea. Bayern are paying a €15m (£13m) loan fee, with a €65m (£56m) option to buy, and a sell-on clause.Chelsea have also announced the sale of Christopher Nkunku to Milan for £36m.
The 24-year-old Jackson is out of favour at Chelsea following the arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro. He joined from Villarreal in 2023 for £32m and has scored 24 goals in 65 Premier league appearances.
Jackson opened his chelsea account against Luton and notably scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 win at Tottenham in his first season. He scored 14 goals in 35 league matches and developed a strong partnership with Cole Palmer.
Last September, Jackson signed a two-year contract extension, extending his deal until 2033. He made key contributions to Chelsea’s Conference League success,scoring twice in the semi-final first leg against Djurgården and once in the final against Real Betis.
However, discipline has been an issue for the Senegal international, with red cards received for a deliberate elbow in a Premier League match against Newcastle and a reckless foul in the Club World Cup against Flamengo.
