Jackson had been at Chelsea since 2023 but fell down the pecking order after the arrival of new players. He said that he was happy to be playing for a team where he was wanted and valued.

The loan deal is for one season, and Bayern reportedly agreed to pay a loan fee of 16.5 million euros, the highest loan fee in their history. The deal also includes an obligation for Bayern to buy Jackson for 65 million euros if certain conditions are met.

However, Bayern's powerbroker, Uli Hoeness, has said that the conditions to trigger the purchase obligation are difficult to satisfy, and Jackson has said that he is focused on playing well and helping the team win, rather than worrying about the obligation.

Jackson is expected to make his debut for Bayern on Saturday when they host Hamburg.

Despite the initial uncertainty, Jackson is now excited to be playing for Bayern and is looking forward to contributing to the team's success.
