Summary: Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet in a package reported at up to £60m, with the move expected to be completed for the summer.
What’s been reported
BBC Sport reported Liverpool have agreed a deal worth up to £60m for Jacquet, but Rennes were unwilling to let him leave during the winter window. The Liverpool Echo similarly described an initial £55m fee plus add-ons, with Jacquet staying at Rennes for the rest of the season.
Why Liverpool moved now
Both reports framed the signing as long-term planning, citing Jacquet’s profile as a ball-playing centre-back and Liverpool’s succession planning in defense.
