Nicolas Jackson's future with Chelsea is now a pressing matter after Bayern Munich's purchase clause expired, giving the striker the freedom to sort out his club future.
The summer transfer window is heating up as teams are eliminated from the World Cup, and Jackson's Senegal team was recently beaten by Belgium in a thrilling match.
Bayern Munich will not take up their option to make Jackson's loan from Chelsea permanent, and the striker is now expected to return to Chelsea, where his future will be decided.
New manager Xabi Alonso may give Jackson a chance to impress in preseason, although the forward will be entitled to a few weeks off after a long season.
As it stands, Jackson is a better option up top than Liam Delap, and until someone else is bought, that will remain the case.
Chelsea may try to mend relations with Jackson and keep him as part of the team, given his current advantage over other strikers.
Elsewhere in Chelsea news, Enzo Fernandez's agent is making big statements in an attempt to secure a transfer to Real Madrid.
The recent massive move of Elliot Anderson to Man City is one of the biggest transfer deals of the summer so far, and there are interesting takes on the situation.
