Bayern Munich signs Nicolas Jackson on a loan deal with new conditions
The transfer saga between Nicolas Jackson and Chelsea has officially come to an end as he will play his 2025/26 football in Germany with Bayern Munich for a record loan fee of €16.5 million.
Nicolas Jackson is one of the players that Chelsea have been trying to get a deal for before the 2025 summer transfer window closes on Monday, September 1, 2025.

The Senegalese decision to leave Chelsea was taken after the club decided to sign Liam Delap and João Pedro from Ipswich Town and Brighton respectively. These signings saw Jackson become third choice in striker’s option for head coach Enzo Maresca.

Everyone knows the names of the legends who’ve played here and knows that this club stands for the greatest success. I’ve got big goals and dreams here and will give my all to help Bayern win further titles.”
