Jackson saga continues: Bayern in fresh talks with Chelsea | OneFootball

On Deadline Day, the failed transfer of Nicolas Jackson suddenly takes another turn. FC Bayern surprisingly makes one last attempt.

As of the previous evening, the transfer was considered definitively failed. But now, according to Sky, talks are once again underway between the German record champions and FC Chelsea. As GiveMeSport also reports, FCB is once again considering a short-term loan of Jackson – just a few hours before the transfer deadline.

The player and his agent Ali Barat were already asked by Bayern on Sunday evening to return to London. The transfer was already well advanced, Jackson was supposed to undergo a medical check and sign a loan contract with FC Bayern. But then Chelsea surprisingly pulled out – the reason was the injury of Liam Delap, who was planned as a backup striker in the Blues' squad.

Jackson's agent continues to push hard

After the withdrawal, Chelsea set new conditions: Instead of a simple loan, the Londoners now demanded either a permanent transfer or a model with a mandatory purchase option. For Bayern, who internally only aim for non-binding loan deals, this was out of the question.

Despite the rejection, Jackson's agents remained persistent. The contact between both clubs never completely broke off – and in the last hours before the transfer deadline, the talks intensify again. Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent also reports that the player's camp is still doing everything possible to make the transfer happen. As The Guardian reports, Chelsea is now again open to a departure of Nicolas Jackson. The possibility of an agreement is at least not ruled out.

Alternative Lookman remains a topic

Already on Sunday evening, Fabrizio Romano signaled that the situation could turn again. On Twitter he wrote: "At the moment, Bayern has told Jackson: 'You have to return to London because you are a Chelsea player and we don't have the green light from the club yet.' But let's see what will happen – because Chelsea has agreed to bring back Marc Guiu early from his loan at Sunderland. So let's see what happens on Monday. Currently, I can't say that this story is over."

On Monday he added that the deal was never definitively failed and the transfer conditions would be renegotiated after Guiu's recall action.

In parallel, the Munich team is also looking for further options for the offense. According to Sport Bild, Ademola Lookman is a candidate. But Atalanta Bergamo recently rejected a loan offer and insists on a permanent sale – no quick solution is in sight here either.

The clock is ticking relentlessly – and it is still open whether Bayern can still strengthen at the last minute.
