Defender Jérémy Jacquet to leave Rennes at season's end for Liverpool | OneFootball

Rennes and Liverpool announced this Monday that they have reached an agreement for the transfer of French defender Jérémy Jacquet, who will join the English club next European summer for a fee estimated by the press at over 80 million dollars (around R$ 421 million at the current exchange rate).

“Jérémy Jacquet will join Liverpool, one of the pillars of European football, starting July 1, 2026. Before arriving in England, the defender will complete the 2025/2026 season at Rennes,” wrote the French club in its statement.

At 20 years old, Jacquet becomes the most expensive sale in Rennes’ history, surpassing another Jérémy, Doku, the Belgian winger who transferred to Manchester City in 2023 for 65 million euros (R$ 403 million).

Having played for the French under-21 national team, Jérémy Jacquet is considered one of the most promising young players in his position. Chelsea had already shown interest in him, but it was Liverpool who secured his signing.
