Bayern Munich 'agree' loan deal for Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson on loan, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The deal will see Bayern pay an initial €15 million fee for a one-season loan, with a non-mandatory buy option worth up to €80m plus a sell-on clause included.

Jackson is set to travel to Bavaria with his agent Ali Barat from Epic Sports to finalise the move, with medical tests expected in the coming days.

The Senegalese forward has faced increased competition at Chelsea following the arrivals of João Pedro from Brighton and Liam Delap from Ipswich Town earlier this summer.

That competition has prompted both Jackson and his teammate Christopher Nkunku to seek exits, with Nkunku closing in on a switch to Serie A side AC Milan.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa had been among the clubs linked with Jackson ahead of the transfer deadline, but Bayern appear to have won the race.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are continuing to reshape their forward department as part of a major summer overhaul under Enzo Maresca, with Alejandro Garnacho expected to sign before Monday's deadline.
