Report: Bayern Munich considering signing Lois Openda on loan after Nicolas Jackson setback

Bayern Munich and Chelsea have all but agreed to send Nicolas Jackson to Munich for a season long deal, until an injury to Liam Delap against Fulham made Chelsea reconsider their decision. Their stance now is that they don’t want the loan to happen, despite pushbacks from Jackson and his camp. Bayern meanwhile have moved quickly onto RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda:

FC Bayern Münich’s now thinking about Lois Openda on loan with option to buy that could be mandatory as Nicolas Jackson deals in doubt. Kompany knows very well Openda’s quality and with Konrad arrival to RB Leizpig… the door is open.

This all stemmed from the board’s erratic behavior all throughout the transfer window, but that’s a discussion for another time. Bayern is dangerously thin on players and that is a significant factor in the business end of the season.

Bayern Munich is off to a solid start, but the transfer market has been hard on the Bavarians (despite some quality acquisitions and sales).
