There was reportedly an obligation to buy in this deal based on appearances, but that is now extremely unlikely to happen.
Saudi Professional League clubs interested in Nicholas Jackson
However, things did not go to plan in Germany, with Jackson scoring five goals in 22 games while finishing third behind the likes of Harry Kane and Luis Diaz.
Jackson is reportedly unhappy with his situation in Munich and the 24-year-old is set to return to Chelsea in the summer.
Jackson has only scored five goals this season.
It is believed Jackson may be willing to play for Chelsea again, with all options said to be on the table amid interest from a number of clubs.

Clubs in Italy, Spain and England are said to be keeping an eye on Jackson, while Fussball Transfers reports Saudi Arabia is also interested.
The report adds that Asian champions Ahli, who have the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Ivan Toney, have also shown concrete interest in the team.
Emmanuel Emegha will join in the summer
Even if Jackson wants to play for Chelsea again, it looks like the Blues have moved on with the signing of Emmanuel Emerga.
