Jacquet completed his medical on Merseyside and signed a long-term deal that will see him officially join the club in the summer, while remaining with Rennes for the rest of the current campaign.

The ill‑timed setback comes less than a week after Liverpool completed the agreement for Jacquet, with the defender set to sign a long‑term contract and join the Reds on July 1. That timeline raises the unsettling prospect that Jacquet may not play for Rennes again before his move to Anfield.

“Jérémy is doing his care, his rehabilitation, he works in the gym, we’re here for the moment…” The French outlet also reported that Liverpool are remaining in contact with the French club on the situation: “Logically, given the sums of money involved, the English club is part of the story. The Reds hope to integrate their recruit as well as possible during the summer preparation, and they are in close contact with Rennes to discuss the medical process on Jacquet, who had already injured his shoulder two years ago at Clermont.
