The Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson is expected to return to Chelsea during the upcoming summer transfer window, after failing to make the required number of appearances to activate the mandatory purchase clause in his loan contract with Bayern Munich.

According to press reports from journalists at "The Athletic" and "Times Sport," Jackson did not reach the minimum number of matches that would have compelled the Bavarian club to sign him permanently, which means his future with the German team is almost certainly decided with a return to London.

The reports added that Bayern Munich is currently not enthusiastic about entering into separate negotiations for a permanent deal with the player, especially in light of their assessment of his performance and their plans for the upcoming summer transfer market.

Thus, Chelsea is preparing to reintegrate Jackson into their plans for the upcoming season, with the coaching staff set to reassess his situation before deciding whether he will remain with the team or if they will seek a new option, either through a loan or a sale.
