Nicolas Jackson has made it clear that he doesn’t want to go back to Chelsea after his planned loan move to Bayern Munich fell through. The Senegalese forward, who had already gone to Germany for a medical, had his transfer stopped at the last minute by the Blues.
The two teams had agreed on the terms of a loan for a season, with a fee of about €15 million and the option to buy for €65–80 million. Bayern were going to pay all of his wages, while a sell-on clause was included. Jackson was ready to finish his move and start his new life in the Bundesliga now that everything was in place.
But Chelsea suddenly backed out of the deal after Liam Delap got hurt, which means the London team will be short on attackers for the next few weeks. Jackson is furious about this sudden change and won’t go back to Stamford Bridge. Reports say that his agents are pushing for the deal to be revived before the transfer window closes.
Max Eberl, Bayern’s sporting director, said the club was shocked by Chelsea’s change of heart. He told reporters that they had to get ready for Jackson’s return to England because they didn’t have any signed paperwork. The situation is still very tense, with less than 48 hours left until the window closes.
Jackson is very clear: he wants to play for Bayern, not Chelsea. For now, the forward’s future is up in the air, and both sides are very tense.
Chelsea Stop Bayern Munich from Chasing Josh Acheampong
Bayern Munich are interested in Josh Acheampong and are looking into the possibility of a loan move with a promise to buy. The German champions want to improve their defense before the transfer window closes, and the 18-year-old Chelsea defender has become a target.
Chelsea, on the other hand, don’t want to let Acheampong go. Earlier this year, the Blues signed him to a long-term deal that lasts until 2029. This put an end to any doubts about his future. Manager Enzo Maresca thinks Acheampong is very important to the team’s growth and has given him opportunities to shine in the preseason, showing how important he is at Stamford Bridge.
Other teams in the Premier League, like Bournemouth and Newcastle, are also keeping an eye on the teenager’s progress. The Blues, on the other hand, are keeping Acheampong off-limits because the club wants to build around their next generation of talent.
