Bayern Munich welcomes back Jackson following his genre shift.
In a dramatic turn of events, FC Bayern Munich have secured the loan of offensive player Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. The reliable source for this news is Fabrizio Romano.
Initially, it seemed that the transfer of Jackson to Bayern had fallen through, but the player and his agent continued to push for a move to the German giants. Despite Bayern's initial interest in signing Ademola Lookman on loan, it appears that the transfer of the Atalanta Bergamo player to Bayern Munich was unsuccessful.
The contract between Jackson and Bayern is reportedly a five-year deal, with a loan fee of 16.5 million euros. However, both clubs have agreed to a purchase option for the promising young player.
The transfer saga involved multiple twists and turns. Jackson underwent a medical check in Munich, but the transfer was initially vetoed by Chelsea. However, a subsequent twist allowed the deal to proceed, and Bayern managed to secure reinforcements for their offensively thin squad despite the initial veto.
The potential return of Spanish striker Marc Guiu to Sunderland could have cleared the way for Jackson to join Bayern. Meanwhile, other candidates such as Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade were linked to Bayern Munich but ended up going to England instead.
Bayern Munich did not want to sign any more players permanently this summer. However, they secured reinforcements for their offensively thin squad, thereby strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
With the transfer period ending, FC Bayern Munich have added Nicolas Jackson to their ranks, marking a significant move in their quest for success in the new season.
