Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

I thought that this news was done a week ago. It seems like that an official announcement came slower than unofficial announcement.

I was worried we were going to lose Jackson on a free agent. It seem Chelsea has planned a retirement plan for him to keep stay in the club forever. but what's new from his 2 years extension? New wages?   Cheesy It seems he follows what Palmer did.

And that's good enough to see the ball carrying ones like Jackson to extend his contract much longer. Though some against this idea, but he good-rated player for me. He's good dribbler, and he can be silky on the ball. But he has inability to shoot, which is his biggest problem.

Chelsea has extended some of their players' contracts for almost a decade. It feels like a guy who, after getting a credit card, pays for his purchases in installments as long as possible.
Actually, the long-term contract given to Jackson is not solely because of his quality, Chelsea wants to balance the financial balance. Almost all players recruited after the arrival of Todd Boehly, are offered with contracts of more than five years, which makes Chelsea financial books record lower figures from the club spending side. So in the end The Blues will remain safe and from various sanctions, but such a policy also has its drawbacks. If in the next few seasons Chelsea wants to encourage one of its players to go find a new club, they will have difficulty cashing it in. Further information from The Athletic seems to be able to help us to find out more details about the techniques used by Chelsea:

So the transfer season is now over for all leagues and to summarise, there were not so many transfers this year compared to the last few years, but there were a few very crazy ones such as Mbappe to Real Madrid and that free of charge or that Oshimen did not move to the Premiere League but to Galatasaray, even if it is only a loan transfer I find it crazy that such a player will play in the turkish league.

I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.
Jackson is good striker mate, he only lack consistency and Enzo Maresca believes in him and he wanted to change him to a better striker which I am sure will be possible because the team have no any other reliable striker than him since they couldn’t sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli, they have to coach Jackson to help the team to be competitive by scoring goals for them.

Extending Jackson’s contract will be of benefit for Chelsea, they are hoping for him to step up his performance this season, if they are able to achieve that, he will be a striker that many teams will be coming for especially if Chelsea signed Osimhen or any other big striker probably next season. A release clause will help Chelsea to get some good amount of money from the player instead of leaving the team for free maybe when his contract expires.

I mean Bayern could have a big part of it without a doubt, they could offer him amounts that he can't refuse, more than any other team in Europe (they probably can't offer more than some Saudi club) so it is still having to do with them a lot. If Real offers him 40 million a year for example, not that Real Madrid needs Musiala, I am just giving an example, and Bayern Munich offers him "only" 20 million, then yeah he could leave. So Bayern Munich has a responsibility to keep offering him the best contract they can afford to offer, without that they are not going to get much.

There could be some other teams who will chase after him, but as long as Bayern offers a good amount, I do not see him doing anything that crazy, feels like it would be just fine. I understand that it is not going to be just that easy to handle, but it's doable. Bayern Munich makes so much money, paying a part of that to Musiala is something they can afford if they want to keep him.

Of course, but affordability is not only a question of money, it is also a question of consistency within the whole team. If they undermine a reasonable salary structure only to keep Musiala in the team, you can imagine what other players will ask for when their contract is about to expire. Paying Musiala 40 million while 85% of the players get less than half of that is probably leading to a whole new set of problems. Real Madrid and Manchester City as far as I know are playing in a different league already in regards to salaries.

I still think that Bayern Munich is of course a great team, but when Real Madrid or Manchester City is knocking on your door and your next coach could be Ancelotti or Pep Guardiola, it's most likely not very easy to refuse those offers.

Cheesy I'm not so sure about the truth of this news. Bringing Musiala to Camp Nou? Maybe it could happen but I don't know when.
What is clear is that I doubt Barca's finances are very bad at the moment, there is no way a deal can happen. For now, Barca must focus on improving their finances, don't be too ambitious about wanting star players out there, especially since there are many competitors to get Musiala's signature, there are still other rich clubs that can make good offers to Munich.
Another thing is that Munich will also keep Musiala at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich still needs Musiala's services to help the team in the Bundesliga and UCL.

How does it make sense when you say that you doubt that the finances are bad when actually you think that there is no way a deal can happen? The logic of that sentence is zero.

If there is no set timeframe for a transfer and Musiala generally considers leaving Bayern Munich, I think it could play an important role that Hansi Flick is Barcelona coach and Musiala will closely observe how Barcelona develops over the next one or two years and whether they are going to have more impactful transfers. Yamal and some other promising players could be a reason for a young player like Musiala to go there and build a legacy. I don't think the chances are very high for that to happen, but at the same time I think it is a possibility in theory. But who knows whether Flick will still be around in two years from now. Bayern will definitely ask a three figure transfer fee even when Musiala's contract would only go for another year after this season. They won't let him go for any sum under 100 million and that might be too much for Barcelona to handle.

This is just a rumor, there is no certainty or agreement between the two parties. Previously, the same rumor also blow very hard when Barcelona wanted to bring in Nico William, but in the end no agreement was reached.

It is only natural that Barcelona are very interested in bringing in Musiala, because he is Hansi Flick's favorite player. Moving to Barcelona would put his position in the first team at risk as he would have to compete with other great players such as De Jong, Olmo, Pedri, Gavi. Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado are also starting to gain trust from Hansi Flick, their rapid development will make the competition in Barcelona midfield even tighter. Barcelona do not need to bring in Musiala, right now they have to focus on the striker position because of Lewandowski's increasing age.

Maybe Chelsea saw something that we can't see at the moment. What I know is that Nicolas Jackson looks like an ordinary striker and his overall performance still far from being satisfactory. It seems like Chelsea still really hopes for the potential they think Jackson has. He probably has that because he's still young, but it could also be that he has reached a dead end, so that no matter how long it takes, he will still be like that.

If I was the coach of Chelsea Nicolas Jackson would been kept on the bench for most of the games. He has been a very wasteful striker who rarely maximizes goalscoring chances. But he is strong, a team player and humble, maybe this might be the quality the coach wants. As a striker, the goals should be the main objective. The reason why the club might give him this long-term contract might be because they believe he would improve and his earnings might be low. I hope the Senegalese will be able to prove to Enzo Maresca that he deserves this trust.

This is a long-term investment made by Chelsea. It is indeed unexpected that the agreed extension will be for a long time, which means there is high trust and hope from Chelsea to Nicolas Jackson. He just arrived last season and the trial period that Chelsea may have done was successful with the performance shown. Chelsea now ties Nicolas Jackson with a long-term contract. We will see how Nicolas Jackson performs in the next few seasons. If he is good and provides achievements for Chelsea, it is very likely to attract the interest of other big clubs who can bid a high price to Chelsea.

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

There was nothing special about Jackson with Chelsea during his time in the Chelsea uniform, so it's quite surprising that he has such a long-term contract. My question is, what are Chelsea's considerations for giving such a long-term contract?  Huh
I mean, don't they think about the risks? Because some of the players they brought in have also failed lately and that only caused losses for them. Like what happened to Lukaku, they could hardly maximize Lukaku's game with the big money they spent. But I hope they are not wrong with their decision and the player can have a significant impact.

In extending the contract Chelsea is right crazy to give a long time to the game while we know Jackson has not contributed much to Chelsea and last season he performed poorly but somehow Chelsea always extends long contracts not just 1 player but many.

Maybe we never know the reason behind it - or Chelsea management sees Jackson's potential in a brighter future so he is extended a longer contract for up to 8 more years.

I myself am not so sure he will perform brilliantly this season, he must try hard because Chelsea has given him full confidence with a long contract.
Chelsea have unpredictable when extending new contract for their players more than five season later, unbelievable after reach agreement deal extending contract for Nicolas Jackson until season 2033 or 8 season later. I think huge speculation did by Chelsea's management by extending their players contract over eight season later and its not worth yet when players have underperform paid them much composition.

Its not first time for Chelsea extended their players contract until season 2033 because have several players before get extend contract almost eight season later.
Its big problem keep their players for longer time if most of them get injury and difficult keep defend their top performance but not possibility reach mutual contract.

Yes, I also think that Nicholas Jackson is in a state of grace and that thanks to luck he manages to stay there and put in some good performances. In my opinion we can also consider the player as average, nothing exceptional but in any case if he was chosen by Chelsea it means that He has some good characteristics, I hope he continues to do well
I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.
I'm not sure how to merge players decision and that if what the club intends doing but if I was ever in Jackson shoes, I wouldn't dare allow such a contract to be implemented. Signing such lengthy contract means you've automatically tight your life to the club and that's the least thing you want to do as a young player that's just coming up and that is even struggling as an attacker. What happens if Chelsea gets a better attacker than Jackson can't bench? He will have to sit on the bench hoping that the player gets injured so he can be given a player time? Almost all the young attacker in the Chelsea team have similar extension of contract  that's at least up to 2030. From a technical point of view and when you're considering that some of these players like noni madueke and Cole Palmer are currently shining too well and might do better in the future, it's understandable to dictate the reason for this kind of contract extension for most of them but for Jackson, let's just hope he doesn't have a bad experience in the club before the expiration of his contract.

Another thing is that Munich will also keep Musiala at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich still needs Musiala's services to help the team in the Bundesliga and UCL.
If Musiala still have a brain, he should reject this offer.

Remember what Barcelona did to Gundongan, Barcelona now have Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Olmo, it's hard for Musiala to become a starter. I'd think Bayern Munich is far more superior than Barcelona.

If Musiala join Barcelona, he will get:
1. Salary deduction.
2. No guarantee to play in every match.
3. Lost a chance to win Champions League.
But in the end this is just fan speculation because what I read in the last few reports on local media that this happened because it happened because some fans expected Musiala to be at the club and did not expect him to be like Muller who was always loyal to Bayern until the end of his career.

It is still unconfirmed about the club's interest as this is just fan speculation especially since Barcelona are also aware that they will definitely not be able to do that now especially considering that signing Dani Olmo some time ago was very difficult so it would be very naive when they try to bring in a player of Musiala's caliber who in terms of value and salary will definitely be greater than Dani Olmo, unless they dig their own graves.

Musila is currently still able to go anywhere, especially with his contract running out, it is very natural that there will be several clubs pursuing later, but things like this we also have to see how serious Bayern are trying to offer a new contract so that the possibility of Musiala's departure from the Alianz Arena is actually very small to happen.

Chill mate. Jackson’s still quite new to professional football, and he is still young. I think there is much more to come from him if he is willing to learn more and try to develop himself properly. however, 9 year contract given by Chelsea to him is insane.
            
He’s good but he’s not a great player, and that's crazy to see the way Chelsea is thinking. I'm also wondering who is knocking on Jackson’s door to get his signature once he will be fully developed.

Now Jackson is 23 years old, and I like the way he plays, of those forwards that are in the team now he is one of the best. No need to worry about what will happen to him in 9 years, now he is young and full of desire to play, especially since any contract can be terminated, and Chelsea is most likely trying to protect themselves in this way so as not to think about extending the contract with this forward in a year or two. If the team changes the coach, then he can give preference to other players, as now Sterling was left out of the game, although he constantly played with Pochettino.

I am sure Chelsea management has considered all this and taken this decision as a young player they saw potential in Nicolas Jackson and I agree with you that the game is not that bad, the market value also predicts the same thing because since he was brought in from Villareal, his market value has increased by 5 million from 30 to 35 million and maybe that's one of the reasons why Chelsea want to secure this player for a long time. Chelsea don't want Mbappe problem to happen again to Jackson.

For this season Nicolas Jackson has played 3 matches, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist this should be a good start and take a place in the starting lineup. Chelsea will play their next match this week and play as the away team against Bournemouth, I don't want to expect too much from this game but I want to see how Jackson plays. If he can score goals then I can say that Chelsea took the right step by extending his contract for the next 9 years.

If you look at Jackson performance last season it is very natural for Chelsea to extend his current contract, Last season Jackson appeared quite impressive even though he did not play as a center striker,  Jackson who actually plays as a central striker, is often deployed as a winger or behind the striker but that does not reduce his sharpness in scoring goals in last season, even this season he has managed to score two goals and one assist from the 3 matches that have been played by Chelsea in the Premier League.
But the thing that surprised me the most was the length of the contracts currently being offered by Chelsea to players,  Chelsea gave on average their players offers new contract for almost 8 to 9 years, so this is indeed a crazy decision made by the Chelsea management, indeed it is not wrong to tie up many young players with long contracts but they should also realize that not all players will have the same consistency and performance every season, so when these players are in poor condition and are not interested in other teams , of course whether they like it or not they have to continue to pay their salaries according to the valid contract.
