Jackson to Bayern: Deal close to completion | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson seemed to be off the table – but suddenly his transfer to FC Bayern is back on track. Just before the transfer deadline, everything is pointing towards a decision.

Negotiations with Chelsea were already considered to have failed, but now the deal is picking up speed again at the last minute. According to information from BILD, all parties are optimistic that the transfer will be completed today. Daily Telegraph also reports growing confidence at FC Bayern that an agreement can be reached.

Originally, the transfer was already well advanced: Jackson was supposed to undergo his medical in Munich on Saturday and sign a loan deal. But then came the sudden withdrawal by the Blues – triggered by the injury to Liam Delap, who was planned as a backup striker at Chelsea. The London club then set new conditions, demanding either a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy. For Bayern, that was initially not an option.

Nevertheless, Jackson’s side stayed on it. The contact was never broken off, and in Munich, they continued to consider how a deal could still be made possible. Talks are now underway again about a possible solution – and it seems that the chances of a last-minute transfer have increased. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that all parties are in talks about the exact structure of the deal and that a conclusion is still possible on deadline day.

Jackson is eager to work with Kompany

Another factor: According to The Sun Football, Jackson is determined to play under Vincent Kompany. Back when Kompany was at Anderlecht, the Belgian had already tried to sign the striker. Even before the first agreement with FC Bayern, there was reportedly a direct phone call between the two – this personal connection is said to have played a decisive role in Jackson turning down a late offer from Juventus. People close to him say that his team has done everything possible in the last 48 hours to make the move to Munich happen.

Regardless of the possible Jackson transfer, Bayern are still exploring the market. According to Sport BILD, Ademola Lookman is also on the list. However, Atalanta Bergamo is demanding a permanent transfer fee and rejects a loan – so a short-term agreement seems difficult. The player, on the other hand, is said to have already given the green light for a move to Munich. Signing Lookman could also happen if a suitable opportunity arises at short notice.

FC Bayern still have a few hours left – and with Nicolas Jackson, the deal that was thought to be dead could still become a reality in the end.
