"The Senegalese player has made it clear to those around him that he wants to succeed in Germany.
"Nicolas Jackson believes Bayern Munich's style of play is a better fit for him and that he will have more room to fully develop his potential in the Bundesliga."

PSG linked with Putellas
According to Spain’s Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona’s two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas is the subject of interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French club are said to be willing to pay the Spain international’s buyout clause and offer her a four-year deal.
The report adds: "Alexia's initial intention is to stay, but Barca, who are aware of the Parisian proposal, are waiting to see how the operation develops in the last 48 hours until the closing of the transfer window in France.
"PSG's offer is much higher than Alexia's current contract with Pere Romeu's team. The Catalan club, for its part, have no intention of matching it because 'La Reina' renewed her contract at the end of May 2024 until 2026 and has another optional year."
