“Get ready for crazy hours” – Romano provides fresh update as Chelsea push for huge transfer | OneFootball

Chelsea are still pushing to sign Jeremy Jacquet before Monday’s transfer deadline, with Liverpool also trying according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues were expected to be quiet this month, but their plans changed and they are looking to bring in a new centre back.

Chelsea have recalled Aaron Anselmino from his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, but have identified Rennes youngster Jacquet as their primary target.

Chelsea still pushing to sign Jeremy Jacquet

Jacquet reportedly only wants to join Chelsea, but as of yet the Blues haven’t made an offer for the France under-21 international.

Rennes are said to want £60m for one of their top talents, with Liverpool also thought to be interested in Jacquet.

Chelsea are still pushing to sign Jacquet.

With transfer deadline day looming an outcome will be reached one way or another over the next three days, and Romano has provided an update.

“Get ready for crazy hours around Jérémy Jacquet! he said on his YouTube channel.

“Chelsea still pushing but Liverpool still trying.

“Rennes position clear, sell now for summer, they don’t need the money now.”

Jacquet, who is regarded as one of the best centre back prospects in Europe is under contract with Rennes until 2029, and has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season.

Chelsea want to recall Mamadou Sarr

Whilst the Blues are still looking to sign Jacquet, they reportedly want to recall Mamadou Sarr from his loan at Strasbourg.

Liam Rosenior knows Sarr well having worked with him in France, and Chelsea reportedly want to send Anselmino to Strasbourg as his replacement.

However, it’s believed Anselmino doesn’t want to go to Strasbourg, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.

Recalling Sarr makes the most sense, and he’s certainly more experience than Anselmino currently, but the problem for Chelsea is they need to find a replacement for Strasbourg before Monday’s deadline.
