OFFICIAL: Bayern secure Jackson on loan from Chelsea with obligation to buy

The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga giants, committing him to Allianz Arena until 2031.

The deal comes after a brief stand-off, when Jackson flew to Munich to finalise the move, but Chelsea temporarily blocked the transfer due to an injury crisis in their forward line.

With Liam Delap sidelined for up to eight weeks, Cole Palmer out with a groin injury, and Christopher Nkunku already having left for AC Milan, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca would have been left with Joao Pedro as his only fit senior striker.

Jackson reportedly expressed frustration at the last-minute change, but the situation has now been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.

Bayern and Chelsea agreed on the final terms, allowing the Senegalese striker to complete his move and strengthen Bayern's attacking options for the season ahead.

Known for his pace, movement off the ball and finishing ability, the striker arrives at Bayern ready to compete in both the Bundesliga and Europe.

The obligation to buy ensures that the German champions secure a long-term addition to their frontline, while Chelsea retain a structured pathway for his eventual transfer.
