"The two Premier League giants are now locked in a direct tug-of-war for the 20-year-old centre-back, who has been dubbed one of the most promising defensive talents in Ligue 1. While Bayern Munich was previously linked, Romano suggests the German champions are now unlikely to pursue a deal, leaving a clear path for a move to England. Chelsea have reportedly already agreed on personal terms with the player, but Richard Hughes and the Liverpool recruitment team are leveraging their long-standing interest to tilt the scales."

Liverpool and Chelsea are locked in a late-stage transfer battle to sign 20-year-old centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, with negotiations intensifying within 24 hours of the February transfer deadline. Liverpool’s interest began around 20 days earlier and Chelsea have been negotiating for weeks, with Chelsea agreeing personal terms. Bayern Munich appears unlikely to pursue the deal, clearing a path for a move to England. Rennes is holding out for a fee near €50m (£43m). The clubs aim to agree a transfer for June/July 2026. Jacquet is considered a long-term signing and will not provide immediate defensive relief.
