(Photo by Sona Maleterova/Getty Images) | Getty Images As the season progressed for Bayern Munich, it became more and more clear that the club did not have any intention of making a permanent purchase of Nicolas Jackson, who has been on loan from Chelsea this season. There was a €65 million buy-on option in his loan deal from Stamford Bridge after what had been a rather hectic end to the summer transfer for the Senegalese international. At first, the deal was on and looked to be smooth sailing, then it was off, back on, back off, and then finally on again while the striker waited in Munich in the final hours of the transfer window. Bayern’s hierarchy and former club president Uli Hoeneß had made it clear they felt it was unrealistic Jackson would meet the clause requirements in the buy-on option of the loan deal that stipulated he would get 45+ minutes in 40+ games this season. Serving as Harry Kane’s backup, it was clear from the start of the season that it would be highly unlikely this would happen, and it expectedly hasn’t. Per information from The Athletic (via @iMiaSanMia), Jackson’s camp had been remaining subtly hopeful that a permanent buy could be made by Bayern and the striker could make a full transfer away from Chelsea, knowing that it likely would’ve meant a lot of renegotiations of specific terms and conditions with the Blues. They felt that Jackson has done an adequate job of serving as Kane’s backup in Bayern’s attack and Vincent Kompany has also given a handful of starts across all competitions. From his total of 30 appearances across all competitions so far this season, Jackson has tallied 10 goals and 4 assists in addition to winning the African Cup of Nations with Senegal, though Morocco has successfully disputed the result of the final with the CAF. As things stand, Chelsea still feel Jackson’s market value is somewhere around 60 million pounds, but Bayern’s standpoint is that trying to find a backup striker for Kane in the transfer market is the more feasible option than the 65-million-euro purchase option of Jackson. That, by no means, is going to be an easy task for Bayern, but they have found success in similar scenarios before a la signing Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to serve as a backup to Robert Lewandowski — the Cameroon striker did so to great effect during his tenure in Munich. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
