Chelsea will seek a everlasting sale for Nicolas Jackson after Bayern Munich confirmed they may not sign the striker on a everlasting transfer.
German giants Bayern spent around £14m to sign Jackson on a season-long loan deal last summer.
Bayern, who clinched one more Bundesliga title last week, agreed to sign Jackson on a everlasting deal for an additional £56m if certain conditions were met.
But Jackson didn’t make enough appearances to activate the transfer, starting just ten league games under Vincent Kompany, scoring seven goals.
Bayern Munich still had the choice to barter a brand new cope with Chelsea however the club’s director of sport Max Eberl has confirmed Jackson will return to Stamford Bridge once the loan deal ends.
‘We is not going to trigger the choice for Nicolas Jackson,’ Eberl told German TV channel ZDF.
Bayern’s decision means Jackson will soon return to Chelsea, where he scored 30 goals in 81 appearances following a £32m move from Villarreal.
Greater than half of those goals got here in Jackson’s first season in west London before a more underwhelming second campaign for the Senegal striker.
Jackson decided to depart Chelsea after the Blues signed two recent strikers last summer – Joao Pedro from Brighton and Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.
Chelsea threatened to dam his move to Bayern after an early injury for Delap but Jackson was already in Munich by that time and essentially refused to return.
Together with his days at Bayern numbered, Jackson is believed to be open to reviving his profession back at Chelsea.
But talkSPORT say Chelsea will still attempt to money in on Jackson despite failing to dump him to Bayern Munich.
It’s claimed Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Newcastle United have already placed Jackson on an inventory of summer targets after expressing interest within the 24-year-old last summer.
Eddie Howe eventually welcomed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa to St James’ Park as Alexander Isak’s replacements but each have struggled.
Chelsea’s decision to dump Jackson last summer was met by a mixed response, with former midfielder John Obi Mikel recently claiming he has been ‘missed’ this season.
‘We’re missing Nicolas Jackson,’ the Chelsea hero said on his YouTube channel. ‘What he gave us, no striker has given us. So yes, we’re missing Jackson.’
Newcastle weren’t alone in registering interest in Jackson before his move to Bayern Munich, with Tottenham and AC Milan just two of the opposite clubs who were linked with moves.
