Nicolas Jackson was all set to join Bayern Munich on loan for €15 million, with an option to buy for €80 million. But the plot thickened when Liam Delap suffered an injury, prompting Chelsea to pull Jackson back.
However, the Senegalese striker has no intention of returning to the Premier League club, creating a transfer standoff that has fans buzzing.
With a plane ticket in hand, Jackson landed in Munich only to find that Chelsea was putting the brakes on his move. The reason? Delap’s injury during a match against Fulham, which will see him sidelined for two months. This has left Chelsea in need of a backup for Joao Pedro, forcing them to reconsider their options.
Chelsea Won’t Back Down
Adding fuel to the fire, Jackson is adamant about not heading back to London. His camp is crying foul, claiming betrayal from Chelsea. His agent, Diomansy Kamara, took to Instagram, posting a blunt message: “We’re not going back. The plane doesn’t go in reverse… Munich!” The tension is palpable as both sides refuse to budge.
Yet Chelsea remains firm in their stance. Under contract until 2033, Jackson is reportedly banned from undergoing a medical in Germany. The stalemate continues, with the BBC reporting that the club is prepared to recall him by force.
As the transfer window closes on Monday, the Chelsea–Jackson clash promises to escalate until the very last minute, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
