EXCL: Nicolas Jackson to Bayern, here we go! Deal agreed with Chelsea on initial loan move.

€15m loan fee for one season plus buy option clause not mandatory for €80m package and sell-on clause.

Jackson, set to fly to Bavaria with his agent Ali Barat from Epic Sports.

Wow.   That is a crazy loan fee for 1 season.  

I was still expecting a late loan offer from Aston Villa so that he could be reunited with Emery.

If he does well it makes it easier to sell him, plus 15 mill loan fee is nuts lol 

I guess for Bayern it doesn't really matter, they just got a decent rotation option for their attack for 15 million.  

They were after Nkunku but didn't want to pay 35 million for him.

I can confirm that Bayern’s deal for Nicolas Jackson is one of the most expensive loan transfers in football history, and internally both at Bayern and Chelsea the expectation is that the cost will rise to €22.5 million once performance bonuses are met, targets so light that they are essentially guaranteed. To top it off, the agreement includes an €83.5 million buy option and a sell-on clause in Chelsea’s favour, structured in the same way as the clause Bayern assured their counterparts in the Luis Díaz deal with Liverpool, which many doubted until it proved true.

The structure of the transfer goes even further. Bayern not only agreed to cover Jackson’s full salary, they also handed him a single-digit signing fee simply for accepting the loan move, something unprecedented in European football for a temporary deal. To make the finances work, Bayern sold Paul Wanner to PSV for €15 million, a move presented publicly as part of a youth strategy but in reality a financial necessity, since without that cash injection the supervisory board would never have signed off on the transfer.

Chelsea, who were more than willing to let Jackson leave, have transformed a squad player into a historic cash machine. The English club even forced Bayern to accept a penalty clause worth around €7.5 million, obliging them to pay more if the €83.5 million buy option is not exercised. The effect is to leave Bayern boxed into a lose-lose outcome. If we add the penalty clause to the loan fee, the signing bonus, the performance add-ons and the full salary, the total cost of a single season of Nicolas Jackson in Munich will approach €50 million.

In Munich the deal is presented as ambition, yet in reality it is nothing more than desperation dressed up as strategy. Paul Wanner, one of the brightest youth prospects, was sacrificed. Bayern sanctioned a record loan and even handed an unprecedented signing fee to a loanee, all to save face in a failing window. Chelsea will invest the windfall into their future, while Bayern have cut into their own to finance a single season of panic.

From market leader to market victim, Bayern’s decline is now written into contracts, line by line, clause by clause.

So basically we have to hope that Jackson absolutely crushes it there. If he does and Bayern still decide not to trigger the clause at least he’ll have advertised himself for other top clubs.

But we still aren’t sure whether a loan is enough for us to make one last big move before the window closes. I’m guessing not.

Simon Phillips report

Sources: Maresca fuming

I have no updates on AM’s right now and to be honest I’m bored of it and completely uninterested right now. 

However, I’ve been told tonight that no progress has been made on a new CB or a GK and as a result, Enzo Maresca is fuming. Maresca wanted a new ST, LW, AM, GK, and a CB this window, pretty much in that order. That was even before the Colwill injury. So far, Chelsea have actioned the first 2 of those and I have little confidence they will action much more.

More:

Sources: Names we've heard!

Alternatives Chelsea could fall back on, and names we've been told this morning are:

Harvey Elliott
Morgan Rogers
Kenan Yildiz
Kobbie Mainoo
Fermin Lopez

The source assures us that these are not the only names and that there are other 'unnamed' players we are looking at.

even if we sold for a bit less of money, we already receive 15M for him. 

If we get maybe 55M pounds next year, we already  get 15M for him, so  helps a lot
