Liverpool have joined the pursuit of Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet, positioning themselves as serious contenders for his signature next summer.
Timing and Club Stance
The Reds target a move in the off-season rather than during the current January window. Rennes officials express a strong desire to retain the center-back through this month, as his contract extends until 2029.
Pressure on Chelsea
Liverpool’s interest heightens competition for Jacquet, especially after Chelsea secured personal terms with the young defender earlier this month. Despite this, Rennes insist on keeping him until after the Monday deadline but indicate openness to negotiations for a summer transfer.
Record Fee Demands
As Liverpool evaluate their defensive reinforcements, they prepare to compete aggressively for Jacquet. Rennes seek a club-record fee that surpasses the £52 million received from Manchester City for winger Jeremy Doku in 2023.
