It will never happen — Bayern Munich president opens up on Nicolas Jackson transfer

Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on Deadline Day after rejecting the chance to return to Chelsea in the wake of Liam Delap's injury.

Jackson held out for a move to Bayern, eventually getting his wish after the Blues agreed a deal with Sunderland for Marc Guiu to return home from his loan spell after just 26 days.

The Senegal international joined the Bundesliga champions on a one-year loan, with a deal that included a reported obligation to buy for £56 million. However, Hoeness has pointed to a specific clause in the deal that makes a permanent transfer highly improbable.

According to the Bayern chief, a permanent move would only be triggered if Jackson makes 40 starts during his loan spell

Speaking to Sport1 Dopa via Fabrizio Romano, Hoeness was blunt in his assessment of the situation.

“The player and his agent contribute for €3m, so we pay €13.5m loan fee. There will definitely not be a permanent contract.

That only happens if he plays 40 games from the start, it will never happen.”

Hoeness's comments suggest that despite the high-profile nature of his move, Jackson's future at the German club is likely to be short-lived.

This would leave the striker in a state of limbo upon his return to Chelsea next summer.
