Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is set to join Bayern Munich on loan in a deal worth over £70m, including a future obligation to buy. Personal terms for a five-year deal are already agreed.
The 24-year-old Senegal forward, signed from Villarreal in 2023, lost manager Enzo Maresca’s trust after multiple red cards and inconsistent form. He could face Chelsea in the Champions League this month.
Jackson’s departure forced Chelsea to rethink their striker options after Liam Delap suffered a six-to-eight-week injury in the win over Fulham.
The Blues recalled 19-year-old Marc Guiu from Sunderland to deputise alongside Joao Pedro, while also securing Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton for £2m.
Chelsea’s reshaped attack now features new faces, including Alejandro Garnacho, as Maresca seeks to balance experience and youth in pursuit of Champions League success.
