Nicolas Jackson’s transfer to Bayern Munich has burst on the home stretch. Although the clubs agreed on a loan including a purchase option, FC Chelsea canceled the deal on Saturday afternoon. Bayern sports director Max Eberl confirmed a corresponding report by “The Athletic” on the edge of the Bundesliga game at FC Augsburg (3: 2). The reason for this is the violation of Liam Delap (22) from the game against FC Fulham (2-0).

Actually, the 24-year-old striker should have switched from the blues to Munich for a rental fee of 15 million euros-the highest of the Bundesliga history. Afterwards the German record champion would have owned a purchase option of over 65 million euros. The contracts were already ready for signature, only the medical check was still pending. Jackson showed pictures at the airport in Munich on Saturday.
But then Delap injured his thigh in the Premier League game against Fulham and had to be replaced after 14 minutes. According to the report, it is expected internally with a duration of around eight weeks. This was enough to let the Jackson deal burst. Last year, Jackson had contributed 13 goals and six templates in 37 missions last year before he was replaced by Delap and the newly committed João Pedro (23) on the offensive.
Before the game in Augsburg, Eberl did not want to confirm a burst change. After the game it looked different. “It was relatively just before the game. Chelsea informed us that they would like to have the player back after we agreed yesterday,” said Eberl. “Now is the situation that the boy is in Munich and that we send the boy back. That is the state of affairs.” It is open whether something will change until the transfer on Monday, says Eberl. “I can’t look into the future. We would have liked to act and would have liked to have done the examination and made the signature.” But that is not possible.
