Jackson transfer? Bayern chief Eberl drops a hint | OneFootball

Nicolas Jackson has been linked with FC Bayern for some time. Now, sports director Max Eberl has once again commented on a possible transfer of the Chelsea star.

Before the cup match against Wehen Wiesbaden, Bayern sports director Max Eberl answered questions on ZDF. One topic was the signing of a new player for the offense. When asked about Nicolas Jackson from FC Chelsea, Eberl initially responded cryptically: “If we find a player who is physically ready, who can score goals and provide assists, who has already gained experience – we would like to loan that player.”

When asked if Jackson is a player who can do all that, the Bayern boss confirmed: “If I read his resume now, he can do that.” This revised his statement made after the home win against Leipzig on Friday, when he said: “Nicolas Jackson is not a topic for us.” About three weeks ago, after the test match against Tottenham, he also claimed never to have spoken with the Senegalese player.

During the press conference for the cup match, sports director Christoph Freund was also asked about Jackson. He did not want to deny Bayern's interest: “I am not denying anything. There are many names circulating. The transfer window is open until next Monday, so something could still happen by then.”

Bayern talks with Jackson ongoing

As recently reported by the news portal PA Media, the German record champion has already submitted an official offer for Jackson to the Blues. It is said to be a one-year loan without a purchase option. This would exactly match the guidelines recently set by the supervisory board.

However, Chelsea still prefers a permanent sale. According to the Daily Mail, they would only agree to a loan deal if a purchase obligation would take effect in the summer.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday that negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing. According to Sky, Bayern is also continuing talks with the player himself.
