Bayern Munich’s transfer move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson looks to be back on, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
The Senegal international has been facing an uncertain future for some time, and it looked like a loan move to Bayern had fallen through.
The injury to Liam Delap forced Chelsea to change their plans, cancelling Jackson’s loan but not ruling out a permanent sale, according to the Athletic.
Now Plettenberg has taken to X this morning to provide a surprise update on Jackson, whose move to Bayern now seems to be back on after “unbelievable” top secret talks…

Nicolas Jackson had also been linked with Newcastle United
This is quite the turnaround on Jackson’s future, with Plettenberg also posting last night that Newcastle United looked like an option for the 24-year-old.
At that time, Bayern had also been looking at Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani…

Jackson could have been a decent addition to help Newcastle replace star forward Alexander Isak, but they now seem to have moved on to other targets.
See below as Fabrizio Romano has reported on NUFC’s move for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa now looking set to go through…

It will be interesting to see how Jackson performs at Bayern after a difficult spell at Chelsea.
Blues fans, meanwhile, will hope the club have plans in place to replace the departing striker and to help cover for Delap’s injury.
Marc Guiu returning from his loan at Sunderland is another option, but Enzo Maresca might do well to have someone else in his squad as well.
