Nicolas Jackson on facing Chelsea: “I’m very happy to see my friends and teammates from Chelsea. Hopefully, we have a good game and win.”

In response to the question of his reasoning behind choosing Bayern, Nicolas Jackson responded: "There are always changes in football. Max [Eberl] and the coach really wanted me. As a player, you want to be where you're wanted. I've followed Bayern all my life. I'm really excited and can't wait to get going."

Asked about his aims as a Bayern player and his expectations of his playing time, which will reporedtly have an impact on any potential future permanent transfer, Jackson exuded focus and determination, answering: "My aim is to score as many goals as possible to help the team... My job is to play and help win. The number of games isn't my focus. I want to achieve great things with the club."

Bayern Munich abused that position by trying to get Nick Woltemade for far less than Stuttgart valued the player at, trying to bully the rival Bundesliga club into selling him on the cheap. A series of lowball offers ended with Stuttgart turning down a third offer from Bayern Munich, widely reported as £52m. Indeed, so sickened were Stuttgart of Bayern’s antics, they refused to discuss the transfer further and stated there was no way they would be selling Nick Woltemade to them (Bayern Munich) in the summer 2025 window.

Newcastle United obviously then coming in and taking advantage of Bayern’s antics, signing Nick Woltemade and bringing him to the Premier League instead.

Nick Woltemade has now stated the true transfer fee, saying that the claimed £78million (€90million) in the German media is untrue and that Newcastle United did indeed pay £65million (€75million) as the guaranteed transfer fee. A figure that was higher than Bayern Munich’s lowball figures but nowhere near as high as claimed in Germany.

Nick Woltemade speaking to the German Press Agency about signing for Newcastle United and what his true transfer fee was, as reported by Spiegel – 12 September 2025:

“The Premier League is the best league in the world and we [Newcastle United] are also playing in the Champions League.
