"Liverpool have reportedly taken another step closer to signing Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, who has now had his medical with the Reds. The talented 20-year-old has been the subject of a lot of interest this winter, with the Athletic reporting on his medical with Liverpool being scheduled. And now Mike McGrath of the Telegraph has posted on X that that medical has now been done, with Jacquet all set to join Liverpool for a potential 60m package in the summer."
"McGrath posted: Jeremy Jacquet has completed his medical at Liverpool. The 20yr centre-back will join #LFC in 60m deal, with 55m up front and join in the summer after completing the season with Rennes. Liverpool beat Chelsea to Jeremy Jacquet transfer Chelsea were also in the mix for Jacquet earlier in this transfer window, but a deal seemingly couldn't be agreed."
"Chelsea, by contrast, looked like they really needed a new defender now, and this led to them recalling Mamadou Sarr from his loan spell at Strasbourg. Liverpool fans will be delighted to see their club move quickly to hijack the deal and secure the services of one of the most highly regarded young defenders in Europe. Arne Slot looks like he could do with a signing like this for the near future, with Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger,"

He will remain at Rennes to finish the current season before moving to Liverpool. Chelsea also pursued Jacquet during the transfer window but could not finalise a deal, in part because Rennes preferred to keep him until summer. Chelsea recalled Mamadou Sarr from his loan to address immediate needs. Liverpool secured a highly regarded young defender to strengthen long-term defensive options.
