Liverpool have completed the signing of defender Jérémy Jacquet from Stade Rennais, with multiple outlets reporting a total deal worth £60 million. The transfer is confirmed as completed, following earlier reporting that Liverpool had moved ahead of rival interest, including competition involving Chelsea and Bayern Munich. The move is described as a five-year contract for the 20-year-old, with an option of an extra year also reported by The Guardian. Coverage adds that the fee structure includes an initial amount with additional payments, though figures reported vary between sources, with some citing £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons and others mentioning different reported totals or currency estimates. Several reports state Jacquet is a France Under-21 international and that he is currently recovering from injury, with expectations that he will be available in time for the start of the season. Yahoo and other outlets note the transfer is formally ratified on Wednesday, subject to international clearance in some reporting. Overall, the reporting agrees Liverpool secure the highly rated Rennes centre-back and finalize the long-awaited January deal.
