Jackson, a 24-year-old striker, ultimately joined Bayern on transfer deadline day, despite Chelsea initially trying to cancel the deal at the last minute. Chelsea had suffered an injury to Liam Delap in a 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham and instructed Jackson to return to London.

Despite this setback, Jackson was eventually able to join Bayern and even made his debut for the team, coming off the bench in the final minutes of a 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea on September 17.

Barat reflected on the transfer process, saying that football is inherently unpredictable and that staying calm was key. He emphasized that Jackson's determination to join Bayern was the driving force behind the deal, and that his role as an agent was to protect and respect Jackson's wishes, even when obstacles arose.

Barat did admit that he had doubts about the deal collapsing at times, but ultimately, Jackson's will and determination prevailed.
