An unexpected transfer was nearly set to happen.
On the last day of the transfer window, Bayern Munich signed Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea and almost added another player from a London club.
Details: According to Christian Falk, Bayern Munich made an offer for Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling on deadline day. However, discussions did not go further, and Sterling stayed at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United and Napoli also expressed interest in the England player. Chelsea wanted to sell Sterling but couldn’t finalize a deal, so he remains with the team.
Recently, Enzo Maresca outlined which players won’t make it into Chelsea’s starting lineup while he is coach.
Reminder: Chelsea aims to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi for free after Guéhi’s move to Liverpool fell through earlier this summer.
