Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed Chelsea have elected to pull the plug on Nicolas Jackson's proposed move to the Bundesliga champions.
Jackson seemed all set to complete a loan move to Bayern this weekend, having jetted into Munich for a medical. He has falled down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
However, after Delap suffered a hamstring injury in Chelsea's Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday, the Blues have cancelled the deal.
Speaking to Sky Germany, Eberl said: "Chelsea have informed us that they want the player back after we reached an agreement yesterday and [permission] to conduct a medical.
"Now the situation is that the boy is in Munich and we have to send him back.
"That's the current state of affairs, but I can't look into the future."
Jackson's agent Diomansy Kamara, a former Fulham striker, had earlier posted on social media.
"The plane doesn't go backwards... Munich," Kamara wrote.
Jackson has scored 30 goals in 81 games across all competitions for Chelsea since he joined them from Villarreal in 2023.
The 24-year-old has slightly underperformed his 36.6 expected goals in that time, while he has averaged a strike every 202 minutes.

we will pamper him..he's coming back..Bayern have been trickish to Chelsea this summer.. poking all our players.. Nkuku, George, Jackson and following all our targets..Granacho, Gitten, Xavi, Fermin..they just got what they deserved..a loan is not enough cos they will bench him and use Harry Kane and bring him back a worst player with transfer value reduced

Chelsea should not be wicked towards a faithful servant that was rejected publicly by the coach. Jackson should not return, this will be a big slap on his face if he does return to Stamford Bridge
Nobody rejected him..he was afraid of competition..now he will face his fears and overcome

This is how stupid some of the managers can be . Let the managers learn to respect players , no matter what . I love managers who knows how to manage players , no matter how cumbersome a player maybe .Mancini , Ferguson, Simone , Maurino and Ancelotti . Just to name a few. Maresca should learn from these coaches . . In all fairness and truth , taking away Jackson 30 goals , Chelsea won't have been where they are . Managers have a key responsibility of learning how to treat players with respect .
it was Jackson that became afraid and decided to go..The manager never wanted him out

He is better than Delap who has not scored in 200 minutes he has played and all the epl top strikers except Jao Pedro and Harland. The other thing you should know is that, none of those goals came from spot kicks. If only he can be given a chance to learn from Jao whose more clinical, the guy will be the next legend.

please Chelsea let's treat players with respect see how we have suffered now, it's a hard decision by Jackson to come back because it's more he was neglected # the stone that the builder neglected became a corner stone.
