Jeremy Jacquet Transfer News: Chelsea in Talks for Rennes Defender
Chelsea moved talks forward to January to sign Rennes defender Jérémy Jacquet amid competition and a £50m–£60m asking price, addressing injury concerns in central defense.
- This month Chelsea Football Club have held talks to sign Rennes centre-back Jérémy Jacquet and are being quoted more than £60m for a move this month.
- Levi Colwill's pre-season knee injury prompted Stamford Bridge to bring forward plans by six months after former head coach Enzo Maresca chose not to add a defender last summer.
- Jacquet has made 16 appearances this season and was sent off in a 5-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain last month, while reports indicate rival interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern Munich as he eyes Stamford Bridge.
- If talks falter, the club could pursue Marcos Senesi, Bournemouth defender, whose contract expires this season, while Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo face contract decisions next summer.
- Financially the club must record a positive trading balance for its Champions League squad and faces UEFA financial rules and sanctions, though sources say Chelsea can still add a player.
