Chelsea may allow Nicolas Jackson to join Bayern Munich on loan, but only if the deal includes a purchase obligation, with the Blues demanding an €11.5 million loan fee.

Bayern Munich is pushing hard to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, having reportedly agreed personal terms with the player. However, the German champions still need to reach an agreement with Chelsea, who prefer to sell Jackson outright rather than loan him out. 

According to reports, Chelsea might consider a loan deal, but only if it includes an obligation to buy the striker permanently. The potential loan fee for Jackson’s move to Bayern Munich is reportedly set at €11.5 million, which would be paid in addition to the purchase obligation activated next summer. 

Chelsea’s stance on the deal suggests they are looking to secure a significant fee for the player, valuing him at over £60 million.

Jackson has been linked with several clubs, including Aston Villa and Newcastle United, but Chelsea’s asking price has been a major obstacle for these potential suitors. Bayern Munich’s interest in Jackson is part of their efforts to bolster their attack before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, has confirmed that Jackson is free to leave the club if a suitable offer is received. The Blues need to balance their books and are likely to sanction Jackson’s exit if a good deal is on the table.
