Nicolas Jackson Makes Significant Loan Move to Bayern Munich, Drawing Attention from European Giants
NICOLAS JACKSON is heading to Germany today for his medical with Bayern Munich, signaling the last phase of his loan deal, according to exclusive reports from Sunsport.
The Senegalese forward agreed on personal terms with Bayern Munich last week, as previously indicated by Sunsport, but discussions continued until Chelsea authorized the transfer fee.

Jackson, 24, is anticipated to arrive in Germany around 2 PM to undergo his final medical check.
He will spend a season in Munich, with the club negotiating an option to buy him for a reported fee of approximately £65 million.
Chelsea is also expected to receive around £13 million, despite not securing the required mandatory buy option they originally sought.
This loan fee will set a record for Bayern, surpassing the £7 million they paid for Coutinho from Liverpool.
During discussions with Bayern, Juventus also displayed interest in acquiring the player.
Jackson had expressed a desire to join Vincent Kompany, who showed early interest while he was at Anderlecht.
Today, Jackson and his representatives are heading to Germany to finalize his medical assessment prior to completing the transfer.
The striker was initially reluctant to leave Chelsea and was willing to compete for his spot.

However, it became evident that he would drop to third choice after the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
Ultimately, it was decided that a transfer would be beneficial for all parties involved.

Jackson now faces the challenge of becoming a vital player at Bayern, competing for the striker role against Harry Kane.
The England captain has excelled since moving to Germany, scoring 91 goals in 99 appearances across all competitions.
Chelsea has gained additional roster space and can redirect his wages toward pursuing another player.
This new recruit could be Alejandro Garnacho, who is nearing a transfer from Manchester United.

The Argentine winger is expected to cost the club only £40m after reaching an agreement with the Red Devils.

He is set to become United’s fourth-largest sale, behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel Di Maria.
Chelsea has also settled for a 10 percent sell-on fee clause in the agreement.
