"Dugarry is delighted Rennes managed to get such a sizeable fee but questioned Liverpool's thinking. He told RMC Sport: "This isn't meant to offend the player, honestly, he's not to blame at all, and we wish him all the best because he's a good player. But when you have suckers like that...well done to Rennes. "Rennes managed to find a sucker like Liverpool that was [willing to pay] €70 million (£60m).""
"And that is not healthy, according to 1998 World Cup winner Dugarry, who added: "Let them continue, all these English clubs, sending tens of millions of euros. This isn't just a two-tiered football situation anymore, it's a football that's lost its mind. "Let's stop trying to pretend there's a justification for it. There's no justification whatsoever. I don't know what's going on. It's ridiculous! No, it's not supply and demand. It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!""
Liverpool agreed a £60million (€70m) deal for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet, who will remain at Rennes until summer before joining Liverpool. Jacquet is a 20-year-old France U21 international with only 36 Ligue 1 appearances. Liverpool reportedly beat Chelsea to secure his signature during the January window. Former France forward Christophe Dugarry criticized the size of the fee, calling Liverpool "suckers" and saying there is "no justification" for such spending on an unproven player. Dugarry warned that Premier League clubs overspending tens of millions is unhealthy for football and described the market as having "lost its mind."
