This season, the Senegalese attacker is expected to strengthen the Bavarian offense. Nicholas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have reached a personal agreement. BILD reports that Bayern Munich and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson have come to a personal understanding. After concluding talks with the London club, the 24-year-old Senegalese international is now anticipated to join the Bundesliga champions this summer.
With a possible provision for a permanent move, Bayern hopes to sign Jackson on loan at first. He is valued by Chelsea at about 80 million pounds sterling, but as the transfer window goes on, the amount may decrease.
Since joining Chelsea from Villarreal, Jackson has made 81 appearances, scored 30 goals, and provided 12 assists, helping the team win the Conference League and Club World Cup.
The striker will provide Vincent Kompany, the manager of Bayern, a flexible offensive option, relieving Harry Kane of some of the scoring pressure. Although Newcastle and Aston Villa have also shown interest, Bayern seems prepared to complete the transaction.
Nicolas Jackson agrees personal terms with Bayern Munich
Jackson did not make the roster for either of the two games. Chelsea is eager to ship Jackson out before the deadline next week, and Maresca has made it possible for him to do so.
A number of teams are keeping an eye on Jackson’s circumstances. Although Aston Villa and Newcastle United have shown a great deal of interest, Bayern seems to be leading the competition.
Max Eberl, the sporting chief executive officer of Bayern, recently denied rumors that the team was considering a transfer for Jackson. After settling on personal terms and discussing a possible agreement with Chelsea, it seems they’ve changed their minds.
The value of Chelsea is the obstacle. The Blues are looking for Jackson for about £80 million, and they would rather have a long-term contract or a loan with a buyout clause. Jackson can only be signed by Bayern on a season-long loan, though.
Alejandro Garnacho, a winger for Manchester United who has expressed a desire to join Chelsea, would be easier to get if Jackson were to go.
