Bayern Munich to send Nicolas Jackson back and sign another former Chelsea player

While he served as a reliable deputy to Harry Kane, scoring 10 goals across all competitions, Bayern has opted to move in a different direction for their attacking depth.

Jackson’s immediate future at Stamford Bridge remains highly uncertain. With Chelsea having already integrated strikers like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap during his absence, a permanent exit looks more likely than a second chance in London.

Newcastle United and Everton have already emerged as contenders for Jackson‘s signature, with both clubs looking to capitalise on his Premier League experience.

Where will Chelsea finish this season? Will they get a European spot?🤔

Bayern Munich interested in signing Kai Havertz

Journalist James Benge has claimed that Bayern Munich may replace Nicolas Jackson with another former Chelsea player in the form of Arsenal’s Kai Havertz (Extra Time podcast).

“Yeah, my understanding on Havertz and Bayern is that there is interest there. Nothing more than that that I’ve heard at the moment, but that is one to monitor in the summer.

“Because of course, Nicholas Jackson is going, so he might figure as a depth piece at buy-in, like someone that can cover a bit for Musiala and a bit for Kane.

“But like you say, it would all be about the deal on offer and who are Arsenal flipping him into, because if you lose Havertz and Jesus, that’s two forwards you need to replace them with, and then you’re probably looking at losing Martinelli and or Trossard as well.

“And you don’t want to come into this season having churned your whole front line as much as emotionally as fans you want that. You don’t want to be starting from scratch all over again.”

Do you think Chelsea should have parted with Enzo Maresca?🤔

Former Chelsea players who have played for Bayern Munich

The bridge between Stamford Bridge and the Allianz Arena is well-traveled, with some of Chelsea’s most iconic names finding success in Munich.

Arjen Robben remains the standout, leaving London in 2007 before becoming a Bayern legend over a decade. Michael Ballack famously moved the other way, joining Chelsea in 2006 after a dominant spell in Bavaria, while Claudio Pizarro and Brian Laudrup also represented both.
