Bayern is cruel to Jackson

Bayern Munich have decided not to activate the £56.2m buyout clause for striker Nicolas Jackson after the end of the 2025/26 season.

Bayern will keep Jackson under 40 games to avoid the obligation to buy.

According to Sky Sport , unless a “miracle” happens on the pitch, the 24-year-old Senegalese player will return to Chelsea in the summer of 2026. Although highly appreciated for his speed, pressing ability and quick integration in training sessions, Jackson has not shown enough value to convince the board to spend 56 million pounds.

Instead of spending big on Jackson, the “Gray Tigers” are hunting for a younger, more economical option, which is young striker Fisnik Asllani (Hoffenheim). The 20-year-old striker is a phenomenon in the Bundesliga with an estimated price of only 15-20 million pounds.

With Harry Kane still in impressive form at the Allianz Arena, Bayern believe they have no reason to buy Nicolas Jackson outright for a hefty price.

Nicolas Jackson's transfer from Chelsea to Bayern Munich for a record loan fee of £14.2 million with a £56.2 million buyout clause has caused quite a bit of controversy. Initially, Chelsea agreed to let Jackson leave, then suddenly canceled the deal at the last minute before returning to negotiations, making the deal seen by many as a farce.

After Chelsea unexpectedly pulled out of the loan deal at the last minute, Bayern Munich canceled Jackson's loan deal. They even booked a flight for the player to fly back to Senegal to join the national team. After the September international break, Jackson was informed by Bayern that he would not fly back to Germany.

However, at the last minute, Bayern Munich officially completed the recruitment of Jackson on loan as originally planned, with a clause allowing for a permanent purchase in the future. According to the agreement, Bayern will be forced to buy Jackson if this striker plays 40 matches.

However, President Uli Hoeness insisted that would “never happen”. “There is definitely no long-term contract. The clause only activates if he starts 40 games, but that will never happen,” Hoeness declared.
