The race for highly rated Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet remains wide open, with Liverpool and Chelsea both continuing talks with the Ligue 1 club and the player's representatives.
SoftFootball understands that discussions are progressing steadily, following earlier reports that Chelsea had already made headway on personal terms with the defender, as detailed in this SoftFootball report on Chelsea's negotiations with Jacquet.
Despite the growing interest as shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , there is clarity on one key point: any potential move will only happen in July 2026, with Rennes determined to keep the player for the remainder of the season.
