Jeremy Jacquet: Liverpool agree £60m deal for Rennes defender
Liverpool secured a £60m deal for 20-year-old Jacquet, who will join in summer as a long-term defensive solution amid injury struggles and contract uncertainties.
- On Feb 1, 2026, Liverpool agreed a £55million deal with Rennes for Jérémy Jacquet, who will stay at Rennes until the summer transfer window, sources said.
- With defensive options reduced by injuries to Joe Gomez, Liverpool FC identified centre-back reinforcement as a summer priority after missing out on Marc Guéhi.
- At 20 years old, France Under-21 international Jérémy Jacquet has made 18 appearances this season after debuting professionally for Rennes in January 2024.
- Because Jacquet arrives in June, the signing boosts next season but does not resolve current injury shortages; it factors into long-term plans amid uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté and efforts to retain Liverpool academy graduate Josh Acheampong.
- Several clubs including Chelsea FC and Bayern Munich tracked Jacquet, but Chelsea failed to complete a January fee, while Rennes head coach Habib Beye insisted Jacquet would stay this season.
