Despite the efforts to sign Nicolas Jackson, Bayern have yet to completely write off the name of Christopher Nkunku. Bayern’s initial goal was to include an option to buy for any player they get on loan, but now the club would also be happy with a straight loan without an option.
One point is making things difficult for Max Eberl in the negotiations, as he has to explain to other clubs why Bayern had the money to sign Nick Woltemade for over €55m but would now only offer a loan deal to other players.
