Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is set to leave on loan, with Bayern Munich leading the race for his signature. However, the Blues are holding off until they know the outcome of Alexander Isak’s possible transfer to Liverpool.

The London club want to move Jackson before the transfer window closes on Monday night.

Jackson has attracted interest from several clubs including Bayern Munich, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa.

Talks with Bayern are already advanced, with the German champions willing to cover the striker’s full wages during the loan spell.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are waiting on developments around Alexander Isak before making their final decision. The Newcastle striker is pushing for a move to Liverpool this summer.

Isak has reportedly gone on strike at Newcastle in a bid to force his transfer to Anfield.

Because of this, Chelsea are in no rush to accept Bayern’s loan terms. The Blues are holding out for a permanent deal and are watching to see if Newcastle follow up their interest in Jackson with a serious bid.
