Chelsea have agreed an improved package for striker Nicolas Jackson to join Bayern Munich.<\/b><\/p>\n

After an on-off transfer saga, the 24-year-old is set to complete an initial loan move for \u00a314.3m (16.5m euros), which crucially includes a mandatory obligation to buy for \u00a356.2m (65m euros) through a minimum number of appearances.<\/p>\n

It’s a deal on slightly improved terms as the one initially agreed and now worth in excess of \u00a370m.<\/p>\n

Personal terms are already in place for a future five-year permanent contract for Jackson, whose deal with Bayern was in doubt after Chelsea instructed him to return when Liam Delap was injured<\/a> in Saturday’s Premier League win over Fulham.<\/p>\n

The Senegal forward joined Chelsea from \u00a332m from Villarreal in 2023 and scored 30 goals in 81 matches.<\/p>\n

To boost their own attacking options, Chelsea have signed Argentine Facundo Buonanotte, 20, on a season-long loan deal from Brighton for a \u00a32m fee.<\/p>\n

Jackson had been an automatic starter until his red card at St James’s Park in April – his second dismissal of the season – which left the club without a striker as they were competing for a place in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Jackson was then sent off within four minutes of coming on as a second-half substitute in the 3-1 group-stage defeat by Flamengo at the Club World Cup, Fifa’s expanded competition which Chelsea ultimately won. Strikers Liam Delap and Joao Pedro arrived to replace him during the tournament. <\/p>\n

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said Jackson ultimately lost the trust of manager Enzo Maresca and some of the hierarchy at Stamford Bridge, prompting Jackson to seek a move.<\/p>\n

It was a shift in mood as Maresca said earlier in April that the frontman was his “perfect number nine” and wanted “a copy of Nico” rather than to replace him. <\/p>\n

Jackson could face Chelsea on September 17 (20:00 BST) in Munich as Uefa rules allow loanees to face their parent clubs in the Champions League. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea have agreed an improved package for striker Nicolas Jackson to join Bayern Munich.
