Bayern has completed the recruitment of striker Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea on the initial loan, with the terms of purchase.
The two sides reached a loan agreement last week, but when Jackson was present in Munich for medical examination, Chelsea unexpectedly canceled the deal due to Liam Delap with a hamstring injury, may have to sit out for a long time.
Despite being asked to return to London, Jackson still stayed in Munich with the representative in the hope that the two parties could resume negotiations. Chelsea then requested a sale, but eventually the two sides reached a loan agreement with compulsory purchase terms based on the number of appearances.
Finally, Jackson joined Bayern as expected for a fee of £ 14.2 million ($ 19.2 million) – the highest fee in history has been paid for a 1 -year loan contract.
“I am really happy to become a part of this great club. Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. Everyone knows the legends that have played here and understands that this club is associated with the greatest success. I have big goals and dreams here, and will devote my best to help Bayern win more titles,” Jackson shared in the contract signing.
Sports Director Christoph Freund added: “Nicolas will bring a new push to our attacking style. He covers many areas on the pitch, possesses high speed, dangerous in front of the goal and always sought to invade behind the defense for the benefit of the collective. He is also an open, positive and will not have any difficulties in integrating into the team.”
Bayern's bought terms with Jackson worth £ 56.2 million, bringing the total package cost of the deal to £ 70.4 million. Earlier, Chelsea spent £ 32 million to recruit Jackson from Villarreal in 2023. In two years of attachment to the Blues, the Senegal striker scored 30 goals and 12 assists after 81 matches.
However, the Chelsea leadership feels need to consolidate the attack this summer. The club spent £ 30 million to recruit Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, before closing the £ 60 million deal to bring Joao Pedro from Brighton to Stamford Bridge.
With Delap the risk of long -term leave, Chelsea also called back to Marc Gui – former Barca striker – from the loan contract at Sunderland.
