"But Jackson? He is up there with football's most entertaining mavericks, a trait which was presumably why we reporters were rarely allowed an audience with him in the Blues' mixed zone. Bayern put him up this week and at one stage, Jackson had to correct himself when discussing Chelsea. 'My former cl... no, my club,' he said during one answer in English. Clearly, he remains mindful that, technically, he is still contracted until 2033 at Stamford Bridge."
"We are told Jackson has no interest in returning to Chelsea, despite the €65million (£56.3m) obligation which comes with his €16.5m (£14.3m) loan being difficult to achieve. Bayern president Uli Hoeness claimed it would require him starting 40 matches in the Bundesliga and Champions League which, given he will be going away with Senegal to the Africa Cup of Nations in December, appears unlikely."
Nicolas Jackson is on loan at Bayern Munich from Chelsea and could face his parent club in the Champions League. Loan players have previously scored against their parent clubs, including Silas for Red Star Belgrade and Philippe Coutinho for Bayern. Jackson, 24, appears to consider his Chelsea chapter closed and reportedly has no interest in returning despite being contracted to 2033. The loan includes a €65m obligation conditional on appearances, a target Bayern president Uli Hoeness suggested would require starting 40 matches, an unlikely outcome given Jackson's Africa Cup of Nations call-up. Jackson and his adviser Diomansy Kamara expect Bayern to find a way to sign him permanently.
