Chelsea Indicate Nicolas Jackson Not in Plans as Bayern Buy Option Out of Reach

AFCON-related conditions on the loan prevent a permanent switch to Bayern, leaving his next club uncertain.

Overview

Chelsea do not view Nicolas Jackson as a long-term option at Stamford Bridge, according to reports.
The Bayern loan includes an obligation to buy that cannot be activated because his Africa Cup of Nations participation prevented the criteria from being met.
Bayern are not expected to keep him beyond the loan, with local reporting indicating he was set to be left out of today’s DFB-Pokal squad under Vincent Kompany’s rotation policy.
Jackson has five goals in 21 appearances for Bayern this season, with only five Bundesliga starts.
Chelsea have agreed a summer deal for Strasbourg forward Emanuel Emegha, increasing competition for minutes as Jackson’s future remains unresolved.
