Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed the club will not activate the €65 million option to buy Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea after his season-long loan. The Senegal striker, who scored 10 goals in 29 appearances, will return to Stamford Bridge this summer. His future remains uncertain as Chelsea weigh reintegration against a potential sale in a crowded forward lineup.
Bayern close the door on permanent deal
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl told German broadcaster ZDF the club will not activate the €65 million option to sign Nicolas Jackson permanently. The 24-year-old joined on loan from Chelsea for €16.5m last summer, scoring 10 goals in 29 appearances but playing second fiddle to Harry Kane. His departure leaves Bayern seeking a new backup striker in the summer transfer market. FootballTransfers UK + 4
Chelsea face crowded striker roster
Chelsea already have Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and incoming signing Emmanuel Emegha competing for the No.9 role, making Jackson’s reintegration uncertain. With an estimated transfer value of €54.4m, he remains a valuable sale option, though some reports suggest he could be a cost-effective backup. The club’s managerial vacancy adds another layer of uncertainty to his future. FootballTransfers UK + 2
Agent highlights player’s strong season
Jackson’s agent Diomansy Kamara praised his client’s campaign, citing 28 games, 10 goals, and titles as African and German champion. Kamara stressed Jackson’s focus on Bayern’s Champions League semi-final against PSG and the DFB Pokal final, leaving his post-season plans deliberately open. The comments suggest the player is prioritising immediate silverware over future transfer speculation. FootballTransfers UK + 2
“Nico is having an excellent season: 28 games played 10 goals Champion of Africa, champion of Germany, and also qualified for the final. Bayern Munich did not want to activate the buy option, and Nico remains 100 per cent focused on the Champions League semi-final against PSG, a very important moment for him and for the club. Bayern is a very large Institution; the most important thing is to win as many trophies as possible before the end of the season. The future… who can predict? Trust the Process, Everything Is Possible.”
From Villarreal to Bayern stint
Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023 for £32m, scoring 30 goals in 81 games before moving to Bayern on loan last summer. The transfer was finalised despite late complications, including Chelsea’s injury concerns and attempts to halt the deal. In Munich, he provided 10 goals across competitions, showing improved form later in the season while largely serving as backup to Harry Kane
