Nicolas Jackson has to come back to Chelsea.
Nothing was signed with Bayern Munich and there is no paperwork.
He was given permission to travel and have a medical and that permission has been revoked.
Chelsea have a good working relationship with Bayern – this situation may have been different if this was a permanent deal but Bayern insisted on a loan.
This is a unique and awkward situation but the expectation is that everyone is going to act professionally.
If this was a permanent deal, Chelsea would be able to use the fee received to buy another forward – but it is not, and in any case, there are very few strikers available in the market at the moment.
Bayern could try to change the deal to a permanent move, but time is running out and potential replacements are scarce. Bayern have made it clear they are only in the market for loans.
It’s understandable the player is disappointed – he was hoping to become the heir to Harry Kane, but he is a Chelsea player and is contracted until 2033.
Bayern have been informed that Chelsea have no intention of loaning the player and he has been asked to return. The permission to have a medical has been revoked.
