Bayern Munich Eye Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson in Transfer Window
Bayern Munich’s Christoph Freund has hinted at a potential move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, as the Bundesliga giants seek attacking reinforcements.
Bayern Munich Sporting Director Christoph Freund fueled speculation about a move for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson on August 26, 2025, refusing to rule out a transfer before the window closes. The 23-year-old Senegalese striker, struggling for consistency at Chelsea since joining from Villarreal in 2023, was omitted from a recent Premier League match, raising doubts about his future under coach Enzo Maresca. A loan move to Bayern is seen as a likely option.
Freund’s comments follow reports of Bayern agreeing personal terms with Jackson, who has also drawn interest from Aston Villa and Napoli. The club, seeking a long-term successor to Harry Kane, views Jackson’s pace and potential as a fit for their attacking setup. Chelsea’s addition of new strikers has further diminished Jackson’s role, prompting Bayern’s interest.
The potential transfer has sparked intrigue, with some seeing Jackson as a Bayern asset, while others question his readiness for the Bundesliga. Nigeria’s football fans, tracking African talent, view the move as a chance for Jackson to shine. As the transfer window nears its close, Bayern’s pursuit tests their ambition to bolster their squad for a competitive season.
