Nicolas Jackson has revealed that he sought advice from an ex-Liverpool star prior to joining Bayern Munich.
Following a hugely eventful transfer saga, Jackson joined Bayern for a loan fee of £14.2million with the German club having an obligation to sign the striker permanently for £56.2million if he makes a certain amount of appearances.
Chelsea attempted to cancel Jackson's move after Liam Delap suffered an injury but the Senegal striker and his agent refused to return to London and the deal eventually went ahead.
Ahead of the move Jackson sought the advice of his Senegal team-mate Sadio Mane, who played for Bayern in the 2022-23 season.
As reported by BILD, Jackson said: 'Sadio is not only a Senegal legend, but also someone I admire greatly. He has opened so many doors for us with his achievements. We exchanged a few messages when we discussed my transfer.'
Jackson added that Mane, who now plays for Al-Nassr, gave him some useful advice about joining Bayern.
Jackson said: 'He told me that Bayern is a big family with a great culture of winning. His advice was simply: 'Work hard, stay humble, and be yourself.' That he says that means a lot to me.'
Despite the difficulties that he endured with his transfer, Jackson insisted that he was adamant that he would join Bayern.
He said: 'I never doubted that I would sign with Bayern, so I took the situation calmly.'
Mane enjoyed a hugely impressive spell at Liverpool between 2016 and 2022.
He won the Bundesliga title with Bayern and scored 12 goals in 38 games for the German club.
Jackson struggled for consistency after joining Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023.
He scored 30 goals in 81 appearances for the Blues and provided 12 assists.
Jackson won the Conference League and Club World Cup with Chelsea.
