Nicolas Jackson Shares His Bayern Munich Dream After Difficult Chelsea Exit

Nicolas Jackson is happy to be at Bayern Munich. He says he just wants to do his best and feels appreciated there. The Senegalese forward joined Bayern on loan from Chelsea for the 2025/26 season, hoping to make an impact in one of Europe’s top leagues.

WHAT HAPPENED AT CHELSEA AND BAYERN?

Jackson moved to Bayern after a tough time at Chelsea. He was not in the main team because of new players joining. His loan move to Bayern was almost stopped because Chelsea had injured strikers. After some difficult talks, Jackson finally made the switch to Germany. He will wear the number 11 shirt and compete for a spot under coach Vincent Kompany. Bayern Munich aims to finalize the deal for Nicolas Jackson before the transfer window closes, according to reports.

During his introduction, Jackson said, “As a player, you want to be where everyone wants you. I’ve watched Bayern my whole life. It was a dream to join this massive club.” He mentioned that his goal is not to start 40 games, but to help Bayern win trophies.

UNDERSTANDING JACKSON’S IMPACT

Jackson comes in after doing well at Chelsea, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists last season. He also won the Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League during his time there. At Bayern, he joins a strong attack with Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, and Michael Olise competing for starting spots. His loan has a condition that can make the move permanent if he starts 40 games this season. However, Bayern leaders think this is unlikely because of the tough competition for places. Jackson’s good attitude and proven goal-scoring skills give Bayern new attacking options as they begin their Bundesliga journey.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BAYERN MUNICH?

Bayern Munich’s season has just started. They are currently top of the Bundesliga table after their impressive 6-0 win against RB Leipzig in their opener and beat Hamburger 5-0 last weekend, and they have nine points from three games. They are three points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt and appear to be in good form. Their next match is against Chelsea for the Champions League, Jackson’s former team, before resuming Bundesliga action with a match against Hoffenheim, who are in 5th place with six points from two matches. Bayern want to win the Bundesliga title this season after winning it last season with a 13 point difference to Leverkusen, and adding Jackson could help improve their attack.

With a busy schedule, including Champions League group games, coach Vincent Kompany will likely rotate his forwards. Jackson is expected to play his first minutes for Bayern soon.
