Chelsea have struck revised terms with Bayern Munich for the transfer of Nicolas Jackson, paving the way for the striker to join the Bundesliga champions.
The 24-year-old’s switch had collapsed over the weekend when Chelsea pulled the plug following Liam Delap’s hamstring injury against Fulham. However, the Blues moved swiftly to address the situation by recalling Marc Guiu from his loan at Sunderland, clearing the path for Jackson’s departure.
Unlike the initial proposal, which included an optional buy clause, the new deal features a mandatory purchase obligation. Bayern will pay a €16.5 million loan fee upfront, with the move set to become permanent next summer for around €65m (£56.2m). In total, Chelsea stand to receive up to €80m (£70m) for the Senegal international.
Jackson, who has spent the last two seasons at Stamford Bridge, remained in Germany with his representatives to finalise the switch. The forward has been eager to complete the move and is expected to be confirmed as a Bayern player ahead of Monday’s 7pm deadline.
