"Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool were all credited with interest in the Stade Rennais centre-back whose breakthrough at the club is the latest in a succession of Rennes academy graduates bound for the other side of the English Channel. Ultimately, Liverpool were the successful party in landing Jacquet's signature and the Frenchman will join the Reds later this year in a deal worth an initial 55 million, with a further 5m to be paid in future add-ons."
"Compared to Rennes peers Mathys Tel and Desire Doue, Jacquet was something of a late bloomer, his development hampered for injuries and growing pains in his younger teenage years. For that reason, he had to wait for his opportunity in the first-team, after an initial spell out on loan with Clermont Foot."
"His size and ability to read danger stood out immediately in France's youth international sides and he was named in UEFA's Team of the Tournament at the 2024 Under-19 European Championship. His loan stint at Clermont was far from straightforward, struggling for minutes during his first six months as the team were relegated from Ligue 1."
Jeremy Jacquet, a centre-back from Stade Rennais, has completed a transfer to Liverpool for an initial €55 million with €5 million in potential add-ons. Born in Bondy, Paris, Jacquet developed through Rennes' academy alongside other notable prospects. Unlike peers Mathys Tel and Desire Doue, Jacquet experienced a delayed breakthrough due to injuries and developmental challenges during his teenage years. After an initial loan at Clermont Foot, where he struggled initially before gaining minutes in Ligue 2, Jacquet was recalled by Rennes manager Habib Beye. His performances earned recognition at the 2024 Under-19 European Championship where he was named in UEFA's Team of the Tournament. His size and ability to read danger made him stand out in youth football.
