Chelsea has called off Nicolas Jackson’s loan move to Bayern Munich after striker Liam Delap’s injury.

Jackson, 24, had already travelled to Munich for his medical ahead of a season-long loan when Chelsea abruptly halted the deal on August 30, 2025. The Senegal international was reportedly unwilling to return to London, with his agent defiantly telling reporters: “We are not going back.”

The sudden U-turn sparked chaos on transfer deadline day, as Bayern scrambled to either salvage the move or secure an alternative striker. Chelsea, meanwhile, came under fire from fans and pundits for their handling of the situation, with some accusing the club of poor planning in the transfer market.

Reports indicate that Chelsea is currently thinking about bringing in an additional striker before the transfer window ends. While they have blocked Jackson’s loan exit, they are open to a permanent transfer if a suitable replacement can be secured.

Inquiries have already been conducted regarding Sporting CP striker Conrad Harder, along with other potential targets.

For Bayern, Jackson’s injury represents a major blow since they had highlighted him as a crucial attacking choice to strengthen their front line. For Chelsea, the situation highlights their continuing challenge to maintain squad depth while ensuring player happiness, as Jackson has been eager to move for greater playing time.

With the clock ticking down, both clubs face mounting pressure to find solutions before the transfer window slams shut.
