"They need to improve defensively, and the French defender would be a superb long-term acquisition. Jacquet has already agreed on personal terms with the London club, but Chelsea need to secure an agreement with his club. The French outfit might not want to lose him in the middle of the season. He is an indispensable asset for them, and selling him in January would be a huge mistake. It could derail their season."
"Florian Plettenberg has confirmed that Chelsea are in concrete negotiations to sign the player this month, and they are pushing to get the deal done in January. Rennes would prefer to sell him at the end of the season. Today there were concrete negotiations between Chelsea and Stade Rennes regarding Jeremy #Jacquet. Chelsea are pushing for a winter transfer. However, a club-to-club agreement is needed first. Only then will Jacquet enter into talks with #CFC."
"The defender is clearly interested in the move, and he has already agreed terms with the Premier League club. He will look to compete at the highest level with Chelsea and fight for major trophies. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him. It could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential."
Chelsea are actively pursuing the signing of 20-year-old French defender Jeremy Jacquet in January. Jacquet has agreed personal terms with Chelsea but a club-to-club agreement with Stade Rennais is still required. Rennes prefer a summer sale and value Jacquet as an indispensable mid-season asset, warning a January sale could harm their season. Chelsea view Jacquet as a long-term defensive reinforcement who could accelerate under regular Premier League football and contend for trophies. Negotiations have been described as concrete, with Chelsea pushing for a winter transfer while Rennes weigh whether to sell now or wait until season end.
