Bayern Munich have agreed a new £70.5m (€81.5m) deal to sign Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson on loan with an obligation to buy after the Blues originally pulled out of the deal.
The fresh terms will see Bayern pay an increased loan fee of £14.25m (€16.4m) from £13m (€15m) with an obligation to buy the player for £56.25m (€65m) depending on appearances made.
The previous deal that had been agreed included an option to make the move permanent but Chelsea wanted the deal to include an obligation to make the switch permanent.
Bayern were originally informed that Chelsea would not be able to proceed with the previously proposed deal after striker Liam Delap suffered an injury against Fulham on Saturday.
Jackson had his heart set on a move to the Bundesliga champions and remained in Germany despite Chelsea pulling out of the deal, with his agent Ali Barat confirming to Sky Sports News that his team would do “everything” to secure the move.

Paul Merson is amazed that no Premier League clubs are attempting to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea as the forward attempts to complete a transfer to Bayern Munich.
“I am amazed no Premier League team has come in for Nicolas Jackson,” Merson said on Sky Sports News. “How Newcastle haven’t gone after him, I do not know.
“Instead, they’ve gone and brought in [Nick Woltemade]. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve never seen him play.
“Nicolas Jackson is a handful. For me, he made Cole Palmer as good as Palmer made him. Aston Villa don’t look like scoring a goal for toffee – there are deals to be done.
“I am flabbergasted this lad hasn’t gone anywhere [in the Premier League].”
