The agreement, finalized on Friday (August 30), contains a £ 13m loan fee (€ 15m) and an option for Bayern to buy the 24-year-old for an extra £ 56.2m (€ 65m), of about £ 70m. Details of the transfer agreement that Chelsea lent to Bayern Munich for the 2025-26 season have assured one of the highest loan fees ever recorded in football. The prepayment of £ 13m competes with historical loans such as Alvaro Morata’s relocations to Juventus and Athletico Madrid. The agreement also contains a sales clause, which ensures that Chelsea benefit from any future transfer as Bayern Jackson sells. The total package could amount to £ 70m, corresponding to Chelsea’s valuation of the striker they signed from Villarreal for £ 32m in 2023. When will the medical medical be? Nicolas Jackson, who agreed to personal conditions with Bayern Munich, will travel to Munich on Saturday afternoon for a medical to complete the move. If Bayern the option to buy next summer, he is expected to sign a five -year contract, which is a major milestone in his career. Nicolas Jackson’s actions Nicolas Jackson’s transfer comes to a challenging time at Chelsea. Despite scoring 30 goals and delivering 12 assists in 81 performances in all competitions, including a key role in the success of Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League, his playing time became shorter. The arrivals of strikers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap pushed him under the manager, Enzo Maresca, who excluded him from the pre-season friendly matches and early Premier League matches in 2025-26. His shape fell last season, with just one league goal in its last 15 games, exacerbated by a hamstring injury and two red cards for violent behavior. With the 2026 World Cup in sight, Jackson told Chelsea earlier this month that he wanted to investigate options. While several Premier League and European clubs showed interest, Bayern’s approach convinced him to choose the Bundesliga giants. Bayern Munich’s strategy for Bayern Munich, Nicolas Jackson, will add depth to an attack led by Harry Kane. The influence of Company was crucial as his vision and Bayern’s ambitions in the Bundesliga and Champions League echoed with Jackson. Jackson’s skills as a striker or wing make him a strategic fit for Company’s system. Chelsea’s financial strategy Chelsea initially valued Nicolas Jackson at £ 80m. However, they adjusted their attitude when the transfer window closed, and prioritized the record fee and the sales clause. This is in line with their active summer, and has collected £ 309m of player sales, including Christopher Nkunku’s £ 36m move to AC Milan, at £ 277m spent on new signatures.
