The Nicholas Jackson Transfer Saga is reportedly taking important time as Bayern Munich continues to sign Chelsea striker.
Posting on X’s official account, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Jackson’s potential moves to Bayern.
As Romano says the deal is still ongoing, despite Jackson also linking with the Serie A club at several outlets, see below for more information.
Romano said: “FC Bayern has insisted on completing Nicholas Jackson’s deal before Monday and before the deadline, spending significant time, but now it’s pushing.
Will Nicholas Jackson be able to revive his Bayern Munich career?
Jackson didn’t actually live up to expectations during his stay at Chelsea. It makes sense that Bruce is ready to offload him.
Enzo Maresca has other options ahead of Jackson in the Chelsea pecking order, with new signatures Liam Dellup and Joa Pedro joining him this summer.
These two already look like a decent upgrade for Jackson, who has just 30 goals in Chelsea’s 81 games.
But it will be interesting to see if the 24-year-old can turn his career around with a big club like Bayern.
Jackson has made many promises at former club Villarreal. If the right manager can understand how to make the most of him, there may be a decent player.
Still, Bayern seems a bit dangerous for Jackson too. He will face Harry Kane and stand in the Vincent Company starting lineup.
It’s hard to see Jackson get many opportunities to play at the Allianz Arena, so it will be interesting to see if he supports other options that could possibly come out in the next 24 hours or so.
