Report: Bayern Munich’s Nicolas Jackson has probably played last game for Chelsea

According to a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Nicolas Jackson has probably played his last game for Chelsea FC. If he does not ultimately sign a new deal with Bayern Munich, Jackson is not expected to play for Chelsea in 2026/27:

The feeling around Nicolas Jackson is that he won’t play for Chelsea again and that his time at the club is over. Bayern will be free to decide whether they want to sign Jackson for €65m in summer 2026 or not. Both Chelsea and the player would be happy if the permanent transfer to Bayern goes through – otherwise it could be to another club.

Jackson has not been overly impressive so far at Bayern Munich, but it is a long season and there will be plenty of opportunities for the Chelsea loanee to establish himself.

Bayern Munich will get some down time…not much, but some.

The Bavarians are not back in action until Friday against Werder Bremen, so a day or two of rest will not be such a bad thing for a squad coming off of an arduous week.
