Key Takeaways:
- Nicolas Jackson is reportedly highly unlikely to fulfil the playing requirements needed for a permanent Bayern Munich transfer this season
- The Senegalese striker has featured in 14 matches and scored 4 goals for Bayern so far
- Bayern must decide next summer whether to renegotiate the €65 million clause with Chelsea, who reportedly remain unwilling to alter the agreement
Contractual Stipulations Restrict Permanent Move
Nicolas Jackson’s future at Bayern Munich appears uncertain, with reports suggesting the forward is not expected to reach the conditions necessary to secure a permanent switch from Chelsea. The Senegal international joined the Bundesliga outfit on loan at the conclusion of the summer transfer window. However, triggering a permanent transfer requires Jackson to start at least 40 matches in a single season – a target that is now considered virtually unattainable.

Financial Terms and Chelsea’s Stance
Should Bayern wish to retain Jackson beyond this campaign, the club would need to open negotiations over the imposed €65 million agreement, as defined in the original contract between Bayern and Chelsea. Sources indicate Chelsea remain firm on this fee and are unlikely to approve any reduction, viewing Jackson as a highly valuable asset. Prior to his transfer to Germany, the striker had attracted interest from Premier League sides and clubs across Europe.
Current Season Performance
Since his move to Bayern, Jackson has featured in 14 fixtures, finding the back of the net on 4 occasions.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Permanent Transfer Fee (€) | Starts Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bayern Munich | 14 | 4 | 65,000,000 | 40 |
