Bayern Munich have already made their feelings clear about making Nicolas Jackson’s move from Chelsea permanent

Nicolas Jackson was involved in one of the most reported transfer dramas in the final days of the summer window.

Chelsea cancelled Jackson’s loan to Bayern Munich after the forward had already arrived in Germany, following an agreement between the clubs.

The 24-year-old eventually signed with the Bundesliga champions on deadline day in one of the most expensive loan deals in history, but at one stage, the deal appeared to be dead in the water.

Liam Delap sustained a long-term injury in the 2-0 win against Fulham, with Enzo Maresca confirming the striker would be sidelined between six and eight weeks.

However, due to Jackson’s preference to leave Stamford Bridge, Chelsea opted to recall Marc Guiu from his loan with Sunderland, which then allowed the Senegalese international to move to Munich as initially planned.

And now Bayern president Uli Hoeneß has given a clear verdict on whether the loan will become permanent in 2026 before Jackson has even kicked a ball in Germany.

Bayern Munich will not sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in 2026

When speaking to German news outlet Sport 1 Dopa, Hoeneß revealed that there is no chance Jackson will remain a Bayern player beyond the current season.

“The player and his agent contribute €3m, so we are paying a €13.5m loan fee,” as translated by Fabrizio Romano. “There will definitely not be a permanent contract. That only happens if he plays 40 games from the start, it will never happen.”

Jackson broke his silence on the Bayern transfer after the deal had been formalised – he admitted that he is proud to call himself a Bayern Munich player and is excited about the challenge of testing himself in Germany.

Furthermore, Chelsea supporters are furious with Jackson after he revealed in a recent interview with Bayern that he considers joining Villarreal as the most important moment of his career, despite spending two years at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, his spell in the Premier League has not panned out as hoped, and although he registered a goal involvement once every two matches last season, it became clear this summer that Maresca would be seeking an upgrade in attack.

As TBR Football exclusively reported in August, Jackson knew he would leave Chelsea before the deadline and while the player has got his wish, it appears that he will be seeking another club at the end of the season.

Nicolas Jackson must perform at Bayern Munich

The 24-year-old garnered significant interest in his services before moving to Germany from clubs such as Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

And one would expect the interest to remain into the summer of 2026, regardless of whether Hoeneß stays true to his word, should Jackson perform admirably in the Bundesliga.

Of course, he will find minutes limited behind Harry Kane at the Allianz Arena, but Bayern would not have sought to acquire his signature if Vincent Kompany did not believe he would be a worthwhile addition to the squad.

Therefore, Jackson will be playing the 2025/26 campaign with another move in mind at the end of the season, and Chelsea will undoubtedly be keeping a keen eye on his displays ahead of touting his services next summer.
