Bayern Decline Nicolas Jackson Buy Option as Chelsea Set £60m Price
A new Chelsea coach will determine whether he is sold or kept.
Overview
- Bayern Munich said they will not trigger the £56.3m option, so Nicolas Jackson will return to Chelsea after his season-long loan.
- Chelsea value the forward at up to £60m, according to The Athletic, with a contract at the club that runs until 2033.
- Club reporting indicates the incoming head coach will decide Jackson’s role, with a sale possible to raise funds for summer signings.
- Newcastle have been linked as a potential bidder, though reports note financial rules could limit the Premier League club’s spending.
- Jackson produced 10 goals and four assists in 30 games as Harry Kane’s backup at Bayern, and local reporting cites cost and fit under Vincent Kompany as reasons not to buy.
