Chelsea is weighing their options on striker Nicolas Jackson’s potential loan move to Bayern Munich as the summer transfer window approaches its deadline.

The Senegalese forward has attracted interest from Bayern Munich, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa, with the Bundesliga champions reportedly ready to cover his full salary on a loan deal. However, Chelsea has yet to finalize the transfer.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club is holding off until Alexander Isak’s potential move from Newcastle to Liverpool is resolved. Isak is currently on strike at Newcastle to force a transfer, which could impact Chelsea’s plans for Jackson.

Chelsea are reportedly hoping for a better offer than Bayern’s current proposal and are also considering whether Newcastle will pursue a permanent deal for Jackson.

With the transfer window closing Monday at midnight, decisions on Jackson’s future are expected soon, as the Blues navigate the complex summer market.
