Gambia-born Senegalese national Nicolas Jackson is making transfer headlines again as he appears to be on the verge of leaving Chelsea before the deadline, renowned journalist Nabil Djellit confirms.
It is reported that Bayern Munich, who were initially looking to sign Christopher Nkunku, finally set their sights on the 24-year-old striker. The Bavarians’ interest is even very real: the salary agreement has already been reached between Jackson and the German club.
Jackson has reportedly made Bayern his preferred destination. While Chelsea are now demanding €70 million for the transfer, a paid loan with an option to buy is also under consideration.
