Deal close to completion: how Bayern plan to use Nicolas Jackson | OneFootball

Bayern is on the verge of finalizing the Jackson deal. There is already a clearly defined internal plan for the striker.

According to information from the TZ, talks with FC Chelsea regarding Nicolas Jackson are in the decisive phase. The deal is imminent. The only thing left to clarify is the exact structure of the loan agreement—especially with regard to the costs and a possible purchase option. According to the report, the 24-year-old attacker is primarily intended to serve as a backup for Harry Kane in Munich, but he also has the potential to play alongside him. He could either play in the number ten role behind Kane or as the lone striker ahead of the captain of the English national team.

With his speed, directness towards goal, and ability to adapt flexibly to different roles, Jackson fits perfectly into Vincent Kompany’s requirements profile. However, he is not primarily intended for the wing positions, where Munich is also thinly staffed.

Woltemade transfer as a door opener for Jackson

This deal was recently facilitated by another transfer: Nick Woltemade is moving to Newcastle United. Although Bayern showed early interest in the Stuttgart player, they withdrew due to the high transfer fee demands. The English club stepped in—and thus ended their pursuit of Jackson. Now that there is no serious competitor left in the race, Munich is well positioned to resolve the final details and complete the transfer soon.

In addition to Jackson, Bayern is also interested in Tyrique George. According to TZ and Sky, the 19-year-old winger is on their list, but a short-term loan seems complicated. Chelsea only has one loan slot left—and that is likely reserved for Jackson.
