Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has agreed to a loan move to Bayern Munich, but the Blues are delaying the transfer as they monitor Alexander Isak’s potential switch from Newcastle United to Liverpool.
With the summer transfer window set to close at midnight on Monday, Chelsea are actively working to offload Jackson and have received interest from Bayern Munich, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa.
Talks between Chelsea and Bayern are reportedly at an advanced stage, with the Bundesliga champions prepared to cover the Senegalese forward’s wages in full. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are holding off on finalizing the deal until there is clarity around Isak’s situation.
Isak is currently on strike at Newcastle in an effort to push through a move to Liverpool. Chelsea are closely watching how that unfolds, as Newcastle’s next move could impact Jackson’s future. The Blues are hopeful that Eddie Howe’s side may shift their attention toward Jackson and potentially submit a permanent transfer bid.
Until then, Chelsea are reluctant to accept Bayern’s current loan offer, as they continue to assess all options in the final days of the window.
