According to BILD, Bayern have managed to reach a verbal agreement with Jackson on personal terms. The striker has greenlit the move to Munich, and talks with Chelsea are now in full swing.
This report has now been confirmed by Romano, who says the two clubs are in official, direct talks about bringing Jackson to the German champions.
Jackson to Bayern?
The Senegal international is expected to depart Stamford Bridge before the window slams shut on 1 September, having been included in the 'Blues' Bomb' squad.
Enzo Maresca has confirmed that everyone involved would be 'happier' if Jackson and teammate Christopher Nkunku were to leave Chelsea before the deadline, and talks with suitors have been taking place for some time.
Romano says that Newcastle and Aston Villa are also interested in Jackson, who has also been linked to Milan.
However, the Bundesliga side will have to do a lot of convincing to get Chelsea's approval for this transfer. As confirmed by director Max Eberl, Bayern's upper management will only sanction loan deals, which means that their English counterparts will have to soften their stance on Jackson.
Bayern's top target in recent weeks had been Nick Woltemade, but Stuttgart have rejected several bids for the Germany international, which has forced the Bundesliga champions to consider different options.
Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in the summer of 2023 for €37m.
He has scored 30 goals in 81 appearances in all competitions.
The striker has largely had a mixed time of things at Chelsea, with the consensus being that the club needed an upgrade to move onto the next level.
They signed Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer to replace him.
He has won the Conference League and Club World Cup at Chelsea.
