Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson is keen on his reported move to Bayern Munich and is waiting to complete the deal.
Reports from The Telegraph indicate that Bayern are intensively pursuing the Chelsea striker, who is said to be keen on a move to the Bundesliga.
However, Chelsea are holding off on finalising the deal until there is more clarity around the future of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is pushing for a transfer to Liverpool.
This uncertainty leaves room for Newcastle or Liverpool to potentially re-enter the chase for Jackson, though Bayern remain in pole position.
Should the deal materialise, Jackson is expected to join Bayern on loan with an obligation to buy.
Meanwhile, with Christopher Nkunku edging closer to a permanent move to AC Milan, Chelsea believe they can manage their attacking options without rushing Jackson’s departure.
Jackson’s future will become clearer in the next few days.
