"I was simply very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world, to discover another league and other great players. At the same time, I was a bit sad to leave Chelsea, my teammates, and the fans. I experienced so many strong emotions there. We won the Conference League and the Club World Cup. Now I'm 100% focused on my new project and I can't wait to experience the incredible atmosphere at the Allianz Arena."
"I never doubted that I would sign with Bayern, so I took the situation 'philosophically'. I'm in good health, as are my loved ones, and I'm lucky enough to be a professional footballer. Nothing else matters. That's how I thought of it."
"Very strong emotions, but not for the reasons you might think."
Nicolas Jackson, 24, moved on loan from Chelsea to Bayern Munich after an emotionally charged transfer process. He felt both happiness at joining a top club and sadness at leaving Chelsea, teammates, and fans, recalling victories including the Conference League and Club World Cup. The move faced uncertainty when Chelsea forward Liam Delap's injury briefly jeopardised the loan late in the transfer window. Jackson and his agents remained confident, and he adopted a philosophical approach, focusing on his health and profession. Jackson has arrived in Munich, is fully focused on the new project, and looks forward to playing at the Allianz Arena.
