Getty Images SportAnother English team-mate for Harry Kane? Bayern Munich target Chelsea's Tyrique George but key issue could derail bid amid Nicolas Jackson talks
Bayern Munich are interested in Chelsea's Tyrique George but will have to sign him permanently as they already seek a loan move for Nicolas Jackson.
- Bayern interested in two Chelsea players
- Club will have to permanently on-board one
- Bayern already reached agreement with Jackson
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bayern are reportedly interested in signing George to bolster their frontline but there's an issue should they try to pursue this deal. The Bundesliga club are also interested in Chelsea's Jackson and are looking for a loan move for the Senegalese. Chelsea can only send one more player out on loan, so Bayern will have to sign George outright, according to Sky Sport. The German club have already negotiated the personal terms with Jackson's camp.

After spending two years at Stamford Bridge, Jackson career with Chelsea seems to be coming to an end. Jackson's agent confirmed the same in his statement claiming there are many offers from Germany, England and Italy. He further added that the "options are numerous, the decision is imminent." However, the Blues' high price tag of €80m (£70m/$94m) has deterred the hopes of many club with only Bayern hoping to clinch a loan move.

Bayern haven't had the best transfer window this season as they lost out on many of their targets; from rejections by Simons, Nico Williams and Kaoru Mitoma to Newcastle United sweeping in to sign Nick Woltemade, a player they launched three bids for. Should the reigning German champions don't act quickly, Roma or Leipzig will clinch the chance to sign George, leaving Luis Diaz as the only option to go to in the left wing.
