What is Chelsea up to with Nicolas Jackson? The English club made headlines on Saturday by recalling the player, only to change their mind again and put the attacker on the market for sale.
This situation is turning into a theatrical drama. Jackson was set to join Bayern Munich on a paid loan deal worth €15 million, with an option to buy for €80 million.
The Senegalese forward even boarded a flight to Munich, but Chelsea abruptly reversed their decision after Liam Delap’s injury in the match against Fulham. With no backup for Joao Pedro, the Blues called their striker back at the last minute.
The Ongoing Transfer Saga of Nicolas Jackson
However, Jackson is determined not to return to London. His agent, Diomansy Kamara, made his stance clear on Instagram: “We’re not going back. The plane doesn’t go in reverse… Munich.” The conflict has escalated into a full-blown standoff.
Under contract until 2033, Jackson has even been barred from undergoing a medical examination by Chelsea. But in a surprising twist reported by David Ornstein, Chelsea is now willing to let him go, but only through a direct transfer.
Could this be to secure a replacement for Delap? It’s a possibility, and with the transfer window closing on Monday night, the Jackson saga is set to keep everyone on the edge of their seats until the very last moment.
