Bayern Munich Reveal Details Behind Nicolas Jackson’s Loan Move

Bayern Munich have shared the full details of their loan deal for Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. They explained the financial terms and said that a permanent move is almost impossible. Bayern Munich aims to finalize the deal for Nicolas Jackson before the transfer window closes, as indicated in a previous update here.

WHAT HOENESS SAID ABOUT THE DEAL

Bayern Munich‘s honorary president, Uli Hoeneß, talked about the agreement. He said the loan fee for Jackson is €15 million, as confirmed in recent reports here. Jackson and his agent are adding €3 million to the cost, bringing Chelsea‘s total to €16.5 million for the loan. Hoeneß stated the transfer can only become permanent if Jackson starts 40 games, an outcome which they believe is unlikely due to their strong squad depth.

CHELSEA EXIT AND BAYERN’S PLANS

Nicolas Jackson moved to Munich after losing his spot at Chelsea. Chelsea signed new strikers like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, increasing competition for places as previously noted. Jackson wanted to play more, but at Bayern, he will mostly be a backup for Harry Kane. The left wing spot is taken by Luis Díaz, who joined last summer for €65.5 million. Michael Olise is set on the right wing. This strong competition for places means Jackson won’t start often, making a permanent move seem unlikely.

CONTEXT: TEAM PERFORMANCE AND WHAT COMES NEXT

Bayern Munich started the 2025/26 Bundesliga season as defending champions, aiming to win the title after finishing 13 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen last season. Currently, Bayern Munich is top of the Bundesliga table after winning their first two matches, including a dominant 6-0 win against RB Leipzig as mentioned. They have signed important players this summer but missed out on others. Bayern is currently level on points with Eintracht Frankfurt. Harry Kane is the top scorer, and Jackson is likely to play only a few games due to the intense competition for forward positions. A permanent move seems unlikely unless injuries or suspensions alter Bayern’s current plans.
