Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness says Nicolas Jackson will return to Chelsea next summer and will ‘definitely not’ sign a permanent contract with the Bundesliga champions.

Jackson’s Chelsea career appeared to be over after he joined Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day on an initial loan deal.

Bayern reportedly paid an initial £14m to sign Jackson on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season, and would sign him permanently next summer for £56m if he made a set number of appearances.

That looked like superb business for Chelsea, who signed Jackson for £32m two summers ago.

But Bayern chief Hoeness has revealed Jackson needs to start 40 games to earn a permanent move to Munich, something that he says ‘will never happen’.
