Bayern sends missed bomber back to England

On the market front, Bayern Munich has made it clear that it will not redeem Nicolas Jackson at the end of the season. Eberl explained to broadcaster ZDF that the striker has not reached the minimum number of appearances required to activate the purchase option, so he will return to Chelsea after his one-year loan.

Former honorary president Uli Hoeness added that the redemption would be mandatory if Jackson had collected at least 40 starting appearances, for a fee of around 65 million euros. So far, however, the player has only totaled 13 starts and 29 total appearances with Bayern.

In his second season at Bayern Munich, Michael Olise has already put together impressive numbers: 19 goals and 32 assists in all competitions, so much so that he is considered untransferable. Reiterating this is Max Eberl, a member of the Bavarian club’s board of directors, who has ruled out any possibility of a transfer despite the interest of several European clubs.
