Bayern Munich have publicly distanced themselves from reports linking the club to Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, while Premier League interest in the forward continues. The German club\u2019s enquiries followed their failed pursuit of Stuttgart\u2019s Nick Woltemade, but Bayern sporting director Max Eberl rejected the speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI have never spoken to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Eberl added further context about Bayern\u2019s transfer posture. \u201cOur squad is set,\u201d the scrutinised board member insisted. \u201cWe are very, very satisfied so far. We have signed three players we absolutely wanted. We are going through a difficult time due to long-term injuries. That doesn’t make it easy. Nevertheless, we will not sign any immediate replacements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Stamford Bridge the situation remains unsettled. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca gave no firm assurances on Jackson\u2019s future. \u201cWhen the window is open, anything can happen,\u201d the Chelsea manager told assembled reporters on Thursday. \u201cThis also involves Nicolas\u2019s situation. We will see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newcastle United had been tipped to make a move for Jackson as an alternative to the Manchester United-bound Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko, but they are not alone. The striker is expected to command a significant fee, reported to be in excess of \u00a379 million ($106.1 million), and that valuation complicates any straightforward approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrizio Romano reports that Newcastle have made contact, and that Tottenham Hotspur have also opened lines of enquiry. Spurs are thought to be interested only if Richarlison departs this summer, with the club considering their forward options behind Dominic Solanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, Bayern have stepped back, Chelsea have acknowledged the possibility of movement, and a group of Premier League suitors monitor the situation. The combination of an unsettled player, a high asking price, and conditional interest means any transfer involving Jackson remains uncertain while the window remains open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
