Bayern Munich and Chelsea could be closing in on an agreement for attacker Nico Jackson.
As of now, the most likely scenario is a loan with an obligation to buy. Here are some of the latest reports on the topic:
GiveMeSport’s Ben Jacobs (via @iMiaSanMia)
Chelsea are prepared to sanction a loan with an obligation to buy for Nicolas Jackson if a permanent transfer can’t be agreed. Clubs are currently told a £10m (€11.5m) loan fee is required. Bayern remain in talks.

Chelsea are now open to Nicolas Jackson leaving on loan this week if their preference of a permanent sale is not forthcoming – but under one condition: The agreement must include an obligation to buy for next summer. Bayern have been bigged up as the frontrunners for Jackson, but several other teams remain in the race.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano
🚨 FC Bayern are again today in direct club to club talks with Chelsea for Nico Jackson.
Discussions about formula of the deal as #CFC has one international loan spot left and it has to include obligation to buy.
Nothing done so far player/club side; but Bayern keep insisting.
PA Media (via @iMiaSanMia)
The only bid that has come for Nicolas Jackson so far was from Bayern for a season-long loan deal.
Newcastle and Aston Villa remain in the race. Newcastle want a resolution to Alexander Isak’s future before moving for Jackson whilst Villa are reported to have been reluctant to meet Chelsea’s £60m valuation. Napoli are also interested in Jackson, though it is not known whether they would prefer a transfer over a loan. Chelsea favour a permanent transfer.
Bayern Munich is traveling to…“somewhere near Frankfurt” per head coach Vincent Kompany to take on SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFB-Pokal.
The Bavarians are riding high after taking down RB Leipzig 6-0 in the Bundesliga and will face the current 6th place team in 3. Liga. SV Wehen Wiesbaden is 1-1-1, featured a couple of ex-Bayern Munich academy products, and is not exactly a push over.
