Liverpool have joined the pursuit of Jeremy Jacquet, the highly rated Rennes centre-back who is attracting interest from multiple clubs.

Summer Transfer Focus

The Reds plan to target Jacquet for a move next summer rather than during the current January window. Rennes intend to retain the 20-year-old defender until the end of the season, with his contract running until 2029.

This development adds significant pressure on Chelsea, who have already reached an agreement on personal terms with Jacquet earlier this month. Despite the interest, Rennes remain firm that the player will not depart before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Record Fee Demands

Rennes officials are open to negotiating a sale in the offseason but insist on a club-record fee to let Jacquet go. The French club previously secured £52 million from Manchester City for winger Jeremy Doku in 2023, and they aim to surpass that amount for their promising defender.

Liverpool view Jacquet as a key option in their search for defensive reinforcements and are ready to intensify their efforts when the summer window opens.

Further updates expected as the situation develops.
