Revealed: The chances of Nicolas Jackson’s Chelsea deal being terminated
Nicolas Jackson will remain at Bayern Munich for the rest of the season, sources have told Football Insider.
That is despite rumours that the Senegalese striker would return to Chelsea in January in order to find a permanent move away.
Sources say that Jackson is happy with his current situation at Bayern Munich and is content with staying until the end of the season.
The German club are unbeaten in all competitions this season and fighting for multiple trophies, so will continue to utilise the 24-year-old.
Bayern Munich will make end-of-season decision on Nicolas Jackson
Jackson is on loan at Bayern Munich from Chelsea, with the deal including an obligation to buy if the forward plays 40 games this season.
The German giants would have to pay £56.2m for the Senegal international if the clause is triggered.
However, Jackson has only played 12 games for Bayern so far this season, and it looks unlikely that he will reach the 40 match mark.
It means that Vincent Kompany’s side will be able to decide whether they keep the Chelsea man beyond the end of the season.
Chelsea looking to boost revenue
Meanwhile, Chelsea are exploring innovative ways to boost their revenues and take advantage of their prime location at Stamford Bridge, sources have told Football Insider.
BlueCo, which is spearheaded by chairman Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, took over Chelsea from Roman Abramovich in May 2022, with the deal worth £4.25billion.
BBC Sport reported on 6 November that the Blues are offering premium members a chance to host a dinner party in the home dressing room at Stamford Bridge, with the experience costing £16,000 for up to 30 guests.
Sources say Chelsea’s location in west London – one of the most affluent areas in the country – provides them with a unique opportunity to offer new hospitality packages to boost their revenues.
