Bayern Munich chief responds after Nicolas Jackson's agent fires back over loan agreement

Bayern Munich's director, Uli Hoeness, has been forced to respond again after comments he made about Nicolas Jackson's loan deal.

Jackson, who joined the reigning Bundesliga giants from Chelsea last month, will fight with Harry Kane for a starting place at the Allianz Arena, with his loan agreement causing a stir.

The Cameroon international is required to start 40 games for Bayern in order to make his move to Germany permanent, something which Hoeness joked would 'never happen'.

Those comments made by the 73-year-old subsequently irked Jackson's team, none more so than his agent Diomansy Kamara, who took to Instagram to respond to those recent remarks.

“Many speak, but few tell the truth. That’s not the topic today. Our only priority is Senegal’s decisive match for World Cup qualification,” with Jackson away with Cameroon over the last week.

Hoeness was made to explain his comments in an interview with Sky Sport Germany. Kane is, of course, Bayern's go-to man in attack, but it appears Hoeness was not happy with how his jovial remarks were taken.

“I said he won’t play 40 games from the start," began the Bayern chief earlier this week. "We still have 32 Bundesliga games.

"If we reach the Champions League final, which we hope we will, that adds 13 games. The total is 45 games. The DFB Pokal games do not count.

“So he would have to start all these games. He will go to the African Cup of Nations in January, so he can’t start 40 games, that’s what I said.

"What I wanted was to help Max [Eberl, Bayern’s technical director], because he was accused of granting this option [obligation to buy].“

Bayern have clearly exercised the correct kind of deal by bringing Jackson to the club, with Kane's injury issues increasing now that he has entered his 30s.

But the loan move can serve Jackson well, all things considered, with there a chance he can rebuild his reputation and win some silverware under Vincent Kompany.
