Stade Rennais did not wait for Christmas to find out that Jérémy Jacquet would be the subject of approaches on the market. Followed by a good number of teams, each more prestigious than the last, the 20-year-old central defender has established himself since the start of the season, and even before, as one of the great promises of the Breton team. Unsurprisingly, his name comes up in the conservations which fuel the transfer window.

At the top of the list is Chelsea, 4th in the Premier League, who have mobilized their recruiters several times to come see him, and whose interest is not limited to a simple phone call. Rennes knows the special attention that the English club has paid to its player for several weeks.
Rennes wants to keep him this winter
The desire of interested clubs is not necessarily to wait until the end of the season, but Stade Rennais absolutely wants to keep Jérémy Jacquet this winter. It must be said that in the space of a few months, the international Espoirs (5 selections), under contract until 2029, has become essential in the axis of the three-way defense, installed by Habib Beye.
For the Rennes coach, it is clear: he must stay! An opinion shared in the upper echelons of the club, where the message is sent that the best young people will stay to help the team secure European places. Next summer is a different story…
