British media reveals why Jackson s transfer to Bayern was suddenly stopped

7:19am, 1 September 2025【Football】

Daily Mail reported: A hamstring strain in the 14th minute of a Premier League match completely reversed the transfer that was about to settle - Nicholas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea and had a £69.2 million deal with a buyout clause, and declared a miscarriage overnight.

The private plane that had already paid the fee ran for nothing, and now it has to be rescheduled to pick him up. The great efforts of the parties to negotiate a loan fee of 12.9 million pounds, a buyout option of 56.3 million pounds, and Chelsea's retained future transfer share terms were all wasted. What's even more ironic is that Bayern has arranged a long-term residence in Munich for Jackson, and he and his agent Diormansi Kamala (former Fulham striker) and others have also arrived in Germany. Everything seems to be announced only if the physical examination is passed.

However, the turning point in fate came unexpectedly. Last night, Kamala posted an update on Instagram: "The plane will not walk upside down...Munich." It was accompanied by a red heart. This meaningful sentence seems to imply that the situation is irreversible.

Only in the football world can such a dramatic scene happen. Just Saturday night, Jackson's team was still trying to convince Chelsea to release people, after all, "money is the bottom line." If Bayern directly proposes to sign him permanently, will the ending be different? No one can give an answer.

But what is certain is that Chelsea made a clear statement last night: they asked Jackson to return immediately and have officially notified the players and their team to cancel their medical examination in Germany. The club also specifically reminded Jackson that his contract is valid until 2033 and must obey club orders.

The fuse of this storm was the injury of another player - Lian Delapp.

At that time, Chelsea was leading Fulham 2-0 with goals from Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez. The competition was in progress, and the emergency meeting was quietly held, and the topic was how to deal with emergencies.

Although Drapp has not undergone MRI yet, head coach Enzo Maresca judged his injury based on his experience - after all, he suddenly fell behind the Fulham defense during a high-speed sprint.

With Drapp retrenched in injury, Joao Pedro is the only real center in Chelsea. While Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Estevao William and Tyrik George also have guest appearances in the position, they are not traditional No. 9. George, who came on as a substitute, struggled in the game and failed to change the situation. What's more, the youth training young player is facing a transfer this weekend, and Serie A and Roma have shown strong interest in him.

So, are there any other options? Looking for strikers in the transfer market again? This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but at the last moment before the transfer window is closed, the price will inevitably rise. In contrast, leaving behind existing forward players in the team has obviously become the most realistic and direct solution - although this means that there must be an extremely awkward communication with all parties.

In the owner's box at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Alejandro Garnacho, who had just signed from Manchester United for £40 million, witnessed the transfer farce surrounding Jackson being staged in front of him.

In the second half, several members of Chelsea coaching staff whispered and secretly on the bench. Cole Palmer, who had just ended up due to injury, sat aside and listened with a serious expression. At that time, people thought they were discussing tactics, after all, Fulham's intensive defense made the Blues unable to capture for a long time. Maybe they are talking about tactics, but it is also possible that they have received the news that changes everything.

In the end, Chelsea executives made a decision: immediately notify Bayern and Jackson teams to terminate the loan transaction. After the game, Garnacho walked into the locker room with club co-owner Bechdard Egbaly and global scouting director Sam Jewell to meet with new teammates and head coach.

When Enzo Maresca entered the post-match press conference, the reporter asked directly: "Can Jackson's transfer be cancelled now?"

He responded with a confused look: "We just finished the game, and I came here directly, and I had no idea what happened. To be honest, I had no idea at all."

Less than an hour later, the news came out: Chelsea had officially notified Jackson, asking him to set off and return to London immediately, and at least play for the team until January next year. However, Jackson was still stranded in Munich as of last night.

His agent Ali Balat has successfully operated several deals this summer: Noni Maduk transfers to Arsenal, Renato Vieira joins Villarreal, Kani Chukumeka and Aaron Anselmino transfer to Dortmund. Jackson was supposed to be his fifth successful move, but now it has become a difficult problem: how to convince the forward who is eager to leave the team to continue playing for a club that was ready to sell him and that fans also know that he is interested in leaving the team?

Of course, the premise of all this is that Jackson has to return to London first.

This storm is far from over.

It has just begun.
