Chelsea and Liverpool remain in talks to sign Jérémy Jacquet as Bayern exit the race | OneFootball

According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool and Chelsea remain in talks to sign Jérémy Jacquet (20) from Rennes. However, the Ligue 1 are resolute in their stance that the defender is unavailable in the winter transfer window and that any agreement would have to be for the summer transfer window. 

Bayern Munich were also interested in signing the 20-year-old, but now appear to have exited the race for the Frenchman’s signature. That leaves Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for his signature, with both clubs still in dialogue with Les Rouges et Noirs and the player’s entourage over a potential transfer. 

Jacquet favouring a move to Chelsea?

Sky understands that the French U21 international prefers a move to Chelsea over Liverpool. However, the Blues are currently searching for other reinforcements at centre-back after recalling Mamadou Sarr (20) from his loan at Strasbourg.
