Liverpool is gearing up for an important summer in their defensive overhaul, eyeing Rennes’ emerging talent Jeremy Jacquet as a primary transfer objective.
As reported by Sky Sport, the 20-year-old French center-back is highly regarded as one of the top prospects in Ligue 1, and the Reds have conducted extensive scouting efforts to bolster their defense.
Multiple scouting reports on Jacquet this season have consistently highlighted his exceptional abilities.
A product of the Rennes youth setup, Jacquet has received accolades from both coaches and analysts.
Pursuing a Replacement for Ibrahima Konaté
At 6 feet 3 inches tall, this young defender demonstrates impressive athleticism and a composed ball-playing style that is well-suited for contemporary football.
His development has caught the attention of scouts across Europe, with clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig, and Juventus closely observing his progress along with Liverpool.
Rennes views Jacquet as a vital part of their future plans, and they would only entertain significant offers for his transfer.
Liverpool’s interest in Jacquet aligns with their long-term strategy to enhance their defense. With uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konaté’s future due to contractual issues, the club is preparing to seek his replacement if necessary next year.
Jacquet’s Possible Move to Anfield
If the initial scouting reports hold true, Jacquet could very well become the next standout French defender at Anfield.
