Nicolas Jackson’s transfer to Bayern Munich still seems to have burst on the home stretch. Although the clubs already agreed on a loan including a purchase option, FC Chelsea said the deal according to “The Athletic” on Saturday afternoon. The reason for this is the violation of Liam Delap from the game against FC Fulham (2-0).

Actually, the 24-year-old striker should have switched from the blues to Munich for a rental fee of 15 million euros-the highest of the Bundesliga history. Afterwards the German record champion owned a purchase option that was 65 million euros. The contracts were already ready for signature, only the medical check was still pending. Jackson showed pictures at the airport in Munich on Saturday.
But then Delap injured his thigh in the Premier League game against Fulham and had to be replaced after 14 minutes, according to the report, it is expected internally with a loss of around eight weeks. This is enough to let the Jackson deal burst, Bavaria has already been informed about the decision. Last year, Jackson had contributed 13 goals and six templates in 37 missions last year before he was replaced by Delap and the newly committed João Pedro on the offensive.
Update 9:51 p.m.: Before the game at FC Augsburg, sports director Max Eberl commented on the developments, but did not want to confirm a burst change. After the game it looked different. “It was relatively just before the game. Chelsea informed us that they would like to have the player back after we agreed yesterday,” said Eberl. “Now is the situation that the boy is in Munich and that we send the boy back. That is the state of affairs.” According to Eberl, it is open whether something will change until the transfer on Monday: “I can’t look into the future. We would have liked to act and would have liked to have taken the investigation and made the signature.” But that is not possible.
