Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have turned down the chance to sign Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson on a permanent transfer at the end of the season.
European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, in a post on his X handle, said Jackson will return to Chelsea in June as Bayern Munich will not trigger the €65m buy option clause in his loan deal.
As a result, Chelsea and Jackson’s representatives will assess the Senegal international’s future with the possibility of a new move in the summer.
Jackson joined Bayern on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer as he was not in former manager Enzo Maresca’s plans for the current season.
However, Jackson could end up playing for Chelsea next season when a new permanent manager is appointed.
