Jeremy Jacquet to Liverpool transfer on as deal agreed for defender
It's believed that Jeremy Jacquet will join Liverpool after the Merseyside club agreed a deal with the French team for the promising 20-year-old defender
www.liverpool.comHere’s what’s known about Jeremy Jacquet and Liverpool as of the latest reporting:
Liverpool announced they had reached an agreement to sign Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet, with the plan for him to join ahead of the 2026-27 season, subject to a work permit and international clearance. This followed extensive late-January/early-February coverage and media confirmations, and sources indicated the deal was worth around £55m upfront with potential add-ons.
The transfer was commonly reported to be finalized in principle during the winter window, with the expectation that Jacquet would complete the season in France before moving to Anfield in the summer. Chelsea had been among the early frontrunners for his signature, but Liverpool secured the deal instead.
Notable outlets and club communications at the time described the move as a long-term signing for Liverpool, tying the defender's arrival to ongoing defensive reconstruction under the club’s leadership. The agreement was described as including a five-year contract with potential extensions, and work-permit clearance was a prerequisite for finalizing the transfer.
There were a range of reports about the transfer fee (often cited around £55m-£60m with add-ons potentially taking it higher), and multiple sources suggested Jacquet preferred Liverpool for the likelihood of first-team opportunities. As with many transfers of this nature, subsequent details could be clarified by official club statements or reputable transfer trackers.
