"We have players like Nicolas Jackson where we don't need to exercise the option because he's not playing enough games,' Eberl said. 'And it looks like we won't be exercising the option.'"
"The Senegal star promptly made the loan move to the Bundesliga, but will not be extending his stay under Vincent Kompany after failing to play the requisite number of games to trigger the club's £56.2million obligation to buy."
"Instead, Chelsea are likely to mull the possibility of another move away, with Bild reporting that among the options for a potential destination are Serie A sides including Juventus and AC Milan. The German publication has also suggested that Turkish Super Lig giant Fenerbahce, and Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are interested in securing the forward on loan."
"Jackson has distinguished himself in Munich as understudy to Harry Kane, but the latter's titanic form has seen the 24-year-old used sparingly. Nonetheless, Jackson has scored 10 times for his temporary club, and Vincent Kompany is thought to be happy with his squad player - although he is unable to keep hold of him due to Chelsea's high asking price."
Nicolas Jackson has attracted interest from multiple international clubs while nearing the end of his season-long loan at Bayern Munich. Chelsea signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro last summer, reducing Jackson’s role and prompting the move to the Bundesliga. Bayern will not extend his stay because he did not play enough games to trigger the €56.2 million obligation to buy. Bayern sporting director Max Eberl confirmed the option would not be exercised. Jackson has scored 10 times for Bayern but has been used sparingly behind Harry Kane. Reports indicate potential destinations include Juventus, AC Milan, Fenerbahce, and Al-Ahli, while Jackson’s agent highlighted his successful season and left the future open.
