Liverpool Signs Gem Jérémy Jacquet!

Liverpool has secured the talented Jérémy Jacquet! On loan to Clermont in the summer of 2024, Jacquet didn't stay long in Auvergne. Too good for Ligue 2, he was recalled by Rennes last winter. This turned out to be a wise decision for the Breton club, as their young player, trained at the club, became the leader of their defense. Under Habib Beye, the 20-year-old defender attracted a lot of interest recently due to his outstanding performances. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal... all these clubs were linked to Jacquet in the winter rumors.

Ultimately, the club that did the best job advanced quietly. Indeed, Liverpool accelerated in recent days and snatched him up right under the noses of their competitors. Impressed by his profile and immense potential that aligns with the intensity of the Premier League, the Reds spared no expense to acquire this talented player coveted across Europe. After several days of smooth negotiations, the deal was finalized this Monday.

This is a grand operation for Rennes, which is selling one of its best prospects for 70 million euros, making Jérémy Jacquet the most expensive sale in the history of SRFC. For Liverpool, facing some defensive issues this season, they are getting a strong player who still has a significant room for development. It remains to be seen whether the 70 million euros spent this Monday will be justified during the defender's tenure on the Mersey. In the meantime, Jacquet will finish the season at Rennes and will aim to end on a high note with his training club.
