Bayern Munich supervisory board member and former president Uli Hoene has clarified the terms of Nicolas Jackson's season-long loan from Chelsea, confirming the striker will return to Stamford Bridge next summer and will "definitely not" sign a permanent deal with the Bundesliga champions.
Jackson's Chelsea career appeared to be over after he joined Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day on an initial loan deal. They reportedly paid an initial 14m to sign Jackson on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season, and would sign him permanently next summer for 56m if he made a set number of appearances.
That looked like superb business for Chelsea, who signed Jackson for 32m two summers ago and were open to offers following the signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
