Bayern Munich Pushes Hard For Nico Jackson Deal While Chelsea Wait On Isak Situation

Bayern Munich still wants to sign Nico Jackson, but Chelsea hasn’t agreed yet. Chelsea is waiting to see what happens with Alexander Isak before deciding.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bayern Munich and Chelsea are still talking about the transfer as the German team tries to secure Nico Jackson before the window closes. A report confirmed that Bayern Munich are in advanced negotiations with Chelsea over the signing of Nico Jackson, and the German team has a personal agreement with the player, but Chelsea is hesitant. The Blues want to make a good decision about his future and are waiting to see Newcastle’s moves for Alexander Isak before they finalize things. Bayern is offering to cover Jackson’s wages and pay a loan fee, but details are still to be agreed.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Nico Jackson, 24, scored 13 goals for Chelsea last season, making 37 appearances, but he lost his starting spot to Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Chelsea set his price at £80 million, but they are willing to consider a loan deal as long as there is an obligation to buy according to recent reports. Bayern Munich started their season by beating RB Leipzig 6-0 at the Allianz Arena and is looking for offensive support. Currently, Bayern is top in their league while Chelsea is one spot off the Premier League top four. Both clubs are aiming to finalize this transfer soon.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Bayern Munich hopes to complete the deal quickly because Chelsea’s match against Aston Villa is only days away. The Blues’ decision-making could get easier if Newcastle secures Isak. Bayern plays Augsburg after that. Jackson’s transfer would give Bayern fresh offensive options, particularly as Kingsley Coman’s departure left a void in the team as anticipated. Chelsea is also trying to improve their squad and secure a Champions League spot.
