Rennes want £55.5 million for Liverpool transfer target Jeremy Jacquet

One of the main areas that Liverpool need to reinforce is their centre-backs.

At the moment, they only have three senior options available to them which is why a new centre-back is being demanded.

The arrival of Marc Guehi is now off the table which has meant that several other players, such as Rennes' Jeremy Jacquet have popped up as potential targets.

Most of the players Liverpool are being linked with are youngsters with plenty of potential, but, it seems like, in Rennes' eyes, they value him at a much higher rate than that.

That is, according to a report from journalist Ben Jacobs via his personal X account who shared the following:

"Understand Jeremy Jacquet has informed Rennes he would like to join Chelsea this winter," he wrote.

"As revealed yesterday, Rennes hadn't planned for a January exit, and are hoping for a record sale, surpassing the €64m they sold Jeremy Doku to Manchester City for.

"Club-to-club talks ongoing."
