Renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has provided fresh clarification on the situation surrounding Nicolas Jackson’s potential move from Chelsea to Bayern Munich, stressing that the deal is very much alive and should not be considered collapsed despite recent developments.
Romano explained via his official X account that: “Nicolas Jackson deal was never off or collapsed, even after formal Bayern letter to return to London. Chelsea have depth now with Marc Guiu back to the club and can re-negotiate terms with Bayern, open to solutions. Jackson and Bayern, it’s NOT over.”
This update comes after the 24-year-old striker had been recalled by Chelsea following Liam Delap’s injury, which reportedly forced the London club to reconsider their attacking options. While Jackson had been in advanced discussions with the Bundesliga champions, Chelsea’s decision created speculation that the deal was finished.
However, Romano’s latest comments confirm that negotiations between the two clubs could resume, as Chelsea are still evaluating different solutions to balance their squad while allowing the Senegalese forward the opportunity to secure his desired move. Jackson has been consistently linked with an exit this summer, as part of Chelsea’s plans to reshape their forward line under new management.
The clarification also arrives during a hectic Premier League transfer window, with Newcastle United pushing ahead on a £55 million deal to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford. That move is expected to fill the void left by Alexander Isak’s record-breaking switch to Liverpool, further intensifying the late transfer drama across Europe.
With Chelsea still open to discussions and Bayern Munich determined to add firepower to their frontline, Jackson’s situation remains one of the most closely watched sagas of the summer deadline window. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the Senegal international will finally seal his switch to the Allianz Arena or remain at Stamford Bridge to fight for his place.
