There has been a lot of talk about whether Bayern Munich will sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea permanently next summer.
It is thought that it is no longer possible for Jackson to trigger Bayern’s obligation to buy him. However, that does not mean that a transfer is completely out of the question.
The German giants could always negotiate a new deal with Chelsea to sign the striker.

At Chelsea, those things were rarely questioned. Rather, it was his finishing that came under a lot of scrutiny.
Had the Senegal international been more clinical, he would probably still be at Stamford Bridge.
If Bayern do not sign him, he is still likely to end up elsewhere next season. According to Fabrizio Romano, other sides are currently monitoring Jackson’s situation.
Nicolas Jackson’s Bundesliga record
As mentioned earlier, Jackson has only scored three goals in the German top flight this term. However, it is important to remember that the 24-year-old is not starting every game because of Harry Kane.
Had Jackson been Bayern’s first-choice striker, you suspect that his tally would be a lot higher.

| Appearances | 10 |
| Starts | 4 |
| Minutes | 331 |
| Goals | 3 |
| Assists | 0 |
Whatever the case, Bayern seem to be happy with Jackson, who has also scored a couple of goals in the Champions League.
If the Senegal international does not stay at Bayern and Chelsea do not reintegrate him into their squad, a move to another English club is possible.
Jackson joining Aston Villa is not being ruled out, for example, with the forward having previously worked under Unai Emery at Villarreal.
