Jérémy Jacquet close to contract extension at Rennes | OneFootball

According to Canal+ and former L’Équipe journalist Bertrand Latour, Stade Rennais are set to extend the contract of promising centre-back Jérémy Jacquet (19). The young centre-back has been the subject of interest from European clubs including RB Leipzig near the tail-end of the season. Jacquet has seamlessly adapted to Habib Beye’s backline after being recalled from a loan at Clermont where he spent the first half of the season. Even if it meant that Rennes had to spend €900k on a player that was already on their books – the youngster returned to his parent club and starred during the Breton club’s resurgence during the second half of the Ligue 1 season. Jacquet is already tied-down at Rennes until 2027, but the club will be looking to trigger a further year in his contract in the hopes of either keeping the player this summer, or extracting the maximal value they can for the Frenchman in the case of an offer that they can’t refuse.
