Bayern Munich break silence after their move for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson collapsed at the 11th hour

A Bayern Munich chief have spoken out after the club's move for Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson collapsed on Saturday.

On Saturday the Bavarian giants were reported to have agreed a deal that would see the Senegalese forward join Vincent Kompany's side on loan for the 2025/26 campaign.

The move would also see Bayern pay a world-record £13million fee for loaning Jackson with the option to pay an additional £56.2m next summer to make the move permanent.

However, despite the deal appearing close to being finalised Chelsea ultimately cancelled the transfer after Liam Delap was injured in their win over Fulham and ordered Jackson to return to west London.
