Details: According to Football Insider, the German club is unlikely to exercise the £70 million buyout option, as Jackson has yet to convince the coaching staff of his consistency. The forward has made 10 appearances and scored only 2 goals.

Meanwhile, Everton are considering a move for the 24-year-old this summer, should Chelsea be willing to let him go on more favorable terms. The Merseysiders are searching for attacking reinforcements and see Jackson as a player with potential who could thrive in the Premier League with regular game time.

Reminder: Everton are also planning to re-sign Richarlison.
