According to German media, Bayern reached an individual agreement with striker Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea.
The 24 -year -old striker is no longer part of coach Enzo Maresca's plan, and has been constantly rumored to leave Stamford Bridge in the past few weeks. Earlier, Aston Villa and Newcastle were all thought to be interested, but the source from Bild affirmed that Bayern was currently the leader of the race.
The Bundesliga giant has finished closing personal terms with Jackson, and if Bayern and Chelsea agreed on the transfer fee, the deal could be completed very quickly.
Notably, this agreement will help Chelsea have the opportunity to put all their efforts on the plan to recruit two other offensive stars, Alejandro Garnacho (Man United) and Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig).
According to The Telegraph, both of the aforementioned players refused the attention from other clubs to wait for the opportunity to move to Stamford Bridge. Like Jackson, Christopher Nkunku is also likely to leave Chelsea before the summer transfer market 2025 closed.
Last week, coach Maresca shared: “Christo (Nkunku) is still here like Nico (Jackson), but the situation is the same as NICO. We will have to wait to see if they are still staying or not.
If joining Bayern, Jackson will be seen as a quality backup plan for the main striker Harry Kane – who will definitely not be able to plow throughout the season in many arenas.
