Chelsea Thwarts Jackson's Move: Remains in Munich - Chelsea's decision to block transfer: Jackson continues in Munich
Nicolas Jackson, a 24-year-old attacker, finds himself at the centre of a transfer saga as Bayern Munich look to reinforce their attack following several departures. The Bavarian giants had already negotiated a loan deal for Jackson, with an option to buy for the following season, and agreed on a loan fee of 15 million euros. However, the deal is currently on hold.
Chelsea, Jackson's current club, blocked the transfer and instructed him to return to London. Sky reports suggest that Jackson is pushing for a move to Bayern Munich, and he arrived in Munich on Saturday evening for a medical check. Talks between Jackson and Chelsea officials are scheduled for Sunday morning, but the identity of the Chelsea official involved in these discussions remains undisclosed.
Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, has made a statement about the situation. He confirmed that Jackson is in Munich and they want to send him back. Eberl also stated that the buyout clause for Jackson's transfer is 65 million euros.
The reason for blocking Jackson's transfer, according to reports, is the injury of Liam Delap, who is expected to be out for weeks after suffering a muscle injury in Chelsea's 2:0 win against Fulham.
The report about Jackson's transfer to Bayern Munich was confirmed by "The Athletic". Despite the current hold on the deal, it remains to be seen if Jackson's push for a move to Munich will lead to a resolution in the coming days.
