By SPENCER MORGAN, SPORTS REPORTER Published: 22: 28 AEST, 7 September 2025 | Updated: 22: 28 AEST, 7 September 2025 3 View comments Bayern Munich's honorary president Uli Hoeness has revealed that the club's deal for Nicolas Jackson is not quite as good for Chelsea as it seemed. In one of the summer's most hectic moves, Jackson eventually joined Bayern for a loan fee of £14. 2million, with a reported obligation to buy of £56. 2m if he hits a reported appearance quota. Blues supporters viewed this as a great piece of business with Jackson having failed to make a particularly big impact since joining the club for £32m two summers ago. However, Hoeness has given specifics on the deal and explained that he does not see Jackson meeting the specified number of appearances 'The loan fee isn't €16. 5 million because the player and his agent paid €3 million', he told German TV channel SPORT1. ‘There will definitely not be a permanent contract. That only happens if he plays 40 games from the start, it will never happen. ’ Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea with a reported obligation to buy Uli Hoeness has revealed that he does not see Jackson playing the required number of games Jackson is still likely to leave Chelsea next summer but not under the terms that have been widely reported. He made 44 appearances for the London club in his first season and 38 in his second, scoring 30 goals in total. Following his deadline day move, Jackson said: ‘I’m really happy to now be part of this great club. Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. ‘Everyone knows the names of the legends who’ve played here and knows that this club stands for the greatest success. ‘I’ve got big goals and dreams here and will give my all to help Bayern win further titles. ’ Jackson has his work cut out to hit his appearance allocation - Harry Kane leads the line, after all - but the exits of Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, and Mathys Tel have opened up an array of opportunities across the front line. He only joined Chelsea as a 22-year-old after a prolific half-season with Villarreal and went on to win the Club World Cup and Conference League, scoring in the final of the latter.
