Nicolas Jackson’s future at Bayern Munich has taken a dramatic turn, with the striker’s €65 million obligation-to-buy clause reportedly having “hit rock bottom.” The clause, which has quickly transformed into one of the Bundesliga’s most unlikely transfer scenarios, threatens to derail Bayern’s initial plans for the player.
Bayern initially believed Jackson could flourish in Germany after arriving from Chelsea, but the reality of his playing time and form—alongside competition from superstar Harry Kane—has painted a very different picture.
The Near-Impossible Clause
The Senegalese forward has struggled to secure consistent minutes under Bayern’s current system, managing only limited starts since arriving from Chelsea. The buy-out clause is tied to a highly demanding requirement: Jackson must start 40 games (either from the start or play at least 45 minutes) across the Bundesliga and Champions League for the obligation to activate.
- Current Status: Jackson has only made 6 qualifying appearances so far this season.
- Maximum Remaining: He only has a maximum of 33 remaining matches left to play.
- AFCON Impact: His situation is further complicated by his upcoming absence due to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), making the requirement to reach 40 starts virtually near-impossible.
The player’s failure to hit the required number of appearances means the transfer fee is unlikely to be triggered automatically, leaving the club hierarchy facing a major financial turnaround.
It is currently unconfirmed whether Chelsea will choose to keep Nicolas Jackson or actively seek a new club for the player once his loan spell concludes.
