This is undoubtedly one of the biggest transfers of the transfer window. Announced in the sights of the best English clubs for several weeks, Jérémy Jacquet will join the Premier League, but while Chelsea seemed to be holding the rope for a long time, it is ultimately on the side of Liverpool that the Rennes defender is expected.
More than 65 million euros for Rennes
According to our information which confirms that of RMC Sport, the Reds have reached an agreement with Rennes for the transfer of the international Espoirs (5 caps). This would be out of the ordinary for the Breton club which is preparing to make the biggest sale in its history, an operation greater than the 65 million euros paid by Manchester City to recruit Jérémy Doku in August 2023.
Manchester United had also positioned themselves (without making a concrete offer), but Liverpool managed to surpass the competition to obtain the signature of the very promising central defender before the market closed, this Monday, February 2 at 8 p.m. This Sunday evening, the clubs were settling the final details. The native of Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis) will have his medical examination in the coming hours.
Whatever happens, Jérémy Jacquet will end the season with Stade Rennais, who absolutely wanted to keep him this winter. It will only be next summer that he will join the six-time winner of the Champions League who anticipate the end of Ibrahima Konaté’s contract in June 2026, and are already preparing the succession to Virgil Van Dijk.
