Bayern Munich U-turn?! Nicolas Jackson agrees next move after completing long-awaited loan from Chelsea

Jackson completed a loan move to Bayern Munich on deadline day despite several complications due to Chelsea looking to cover Liam Delap's injury. The 24-year-old has made three appearances so far, including his first start in a 4-1 win over Hoffenheim. Reports from German outlet BILDnow suggest Bayern have already thrashed out the terms of a five-year contract with Jackson's camp.

While Jackson's loan deal contains a €65 million (£54m/$71m) purchase clause triggered by 40 starts with the Bavarians, Bayern officials are expected to renegotiate with Chelsea as per the report. Uli Hoeness previously dismissed the possibility of a permanent switch, but Der Rekordmeister's growing confidence in Jackson's development has shifted their stance. For Chelsea, this could present a chance to cash in on a player surplus to requirements.

According to BILD, Bayern have moved quickly to secure Jackson's personal commitment, preventing rival clubs from entering the race. But, although Chelsea are yet to be formally approached, the groundwork has already been laid for talks next summer. Jackson's current contract at Stamford Bridge runs until 2033, meaning negotiations could hinge on Chelsea's valuation.

Jackson will be hoping to retain his spot in Vincent Kompany's starting XI when Bayern face Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday, September 27. Bayern, meanwhile, must balance squad rotation with long-term planning as they push on multiple fronts. Chelsea's response to Bayern's pursuit will likely define whether Jackson's stay in Munich becomes permanent.
