The deal nearly collapsed on transfer deadline day when Liam Delap got injured, but Bayern nonetheless struck a new agreement with Chelsea to secure the striker.
“ very strong emotions, but not for the reasons you might think,” – Jackson said (via Mirror).
“I was simply very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world, to discover another league and other great players. At the same time, I was a little sad to leave Chelsea, my teammates, and the fans. Football is full of cycles. I respect Maresca, I learned a lot from him, he has his own ideas and style.”
“I have no regrets, just gratitude for my time at Chelsea.” – he added.
The Senegal international framed the move as progress rather than an escape.
After limited opportunities at Chelsea, he joined Bayern to seek regular minutes, test himself at a top club, and sharpen his game.
Loans like this give players playing time, let parent clubs manage their squad, and allow the receiving club to assess a player without a permanent transfer.
Now, the focus is on how the 24-year-old adapts to life in Germany and whether he can turn potential into consistent performances for Bayern.
