Chelsea Set €50M Price Tag for Jackson as Bayern Loan Nears End

Chelsea demand €50 million for Nicolas Jackson amid Bayern Munich's interest. Will the Senegal international earn a permanent stay?

Chelsea have placed a €50 million price tag on striker Nicolas Jackson, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. The Senegal international is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, but reports suggest the Bundesliga giants face competition if they want to make the move permanent.

Jackson's Impact at Bayern

Since his loan move last summer, Jackson has registered 12 goals and 5 assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. His pace and versatility have made him a key asset for Julian Nagelsmann's side, though Bayern have yet to trigger any purchase option.

Chelsea's Stance

The Blues, seeking to balance their books after a massive spending spree, are open to selling Jackson outright. However, they are holding out for a fee close to their €50m valuation. With Chelsea's own striker situation uncertain—Liam Delap also linked with a return to Ipswich—the club may reinvest the funds in other targets.

Market Interest

Aside from Bayern, Premier League clubs have also inquired about Jackson's availability. The 23-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2023 from Villarreal for €37m, has a contract with the Blues until 2029. A permanent transfer would provide financial fair play relief for Chelsea.

What Next?

Bayern Munich are expected to hold talks with Chelsea in the coming weeks. The player's preference remains to stay in Germany, but a return to London or a move elsewhere cannot be ruled out. With the summer window fast approaching, Jackson's future is one to watch.
