Jeremy Jacquet Transfer Summary
Liverpool have secured a deal to sign 20-year-old centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Stade Rennais for £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons.[3] The defender will complete the 2025-26 season with Rennes before joining Anfield in summer 2026 on a long-term contract.[1]
Jacquet had attracted interest from multiple top European clubs, including Chelsea and PSG.[2][5] However, Liverpool ultimately won the race for his signature. Chelsea had proposed an identical financial offer but stepped back after clarifying their defensive roster situation and incoming players.[3] PSG, despite having Jacquet on youth scouting lists, chose not to pursue him actively.[5] According to Le Parisien, PSG hesitated between Jacquet and Sékou Doucouré, ultimately favoring Doucouré's profile as better aligned with their development philosophy.[5]
The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for Rennes in Ligue 1 this season, making 18 appearances.[1] He has earned five caps for France U21s and was named in the Team of the Tournament at the 2024 U19 European Championship.[1] Overall, he has made 31 appearances for Rennes since debuting in January 2024, including a loan spell with Clermont Foot.[1]
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Jacquet as "a very big talent," emphasizing the significance of beating other top clubs to secure him.[6] The delayed transfer structure allows Liverpool to record the fee in their 2026-27 accounts, assisting with financial fair play compliance.[4]
