Liverpool complete the signing of defender Jérémy (Jeremy) Jacquet from Stade Rennais, with the club confirming the deal as completed. Multiple outlets report the transfer is worth £60m in total. The Guardian adds further detail that Liverpool agree an initial fee of £55m, with a further £5m linked to add-ons. Jacquet is described as a 20-year-old centre-half and a France Under-21 international. The Guardian reports that Liverpool agreed a five-year contract at Anfield, with an option for an additional year.
The move is also described as having been subject to the usual formalities: at least one report notes the transfer is confirmed on Wednesday, pending international clearance or formal ratification. Liverpool are said to have faced competition for Jacquet’s signature, with the Guardian naming Chelsea and Bayern Munich among the other clubs previously linked to the player. Several sources do not add further specifics beyond the completion of the £60m move from Rennes and the contract agreement.
