Which Premier League club signed Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes in 2026?

Liverpool signed Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes in 2026.

Jacquet came through Rennes’ academy and signed his first professional contract with the French club in 2022. Before leaving, he made 33 senior appearances for Rennes, including 21 during the 2025–26 campaign. He also gained experience during a loan spell at Clermont Foot.

Liverpool agreed the transfer during the 2026 winter window, with Jacquet completing the move ahead of the 2026–27 season. Reports put the fee at £55 million, potentially rising by a further £5 million in add-ons. Rennes described the deal as a major sale for a player developed in its youth system.

A common mix-up is the timing: Jacquet agreed to join Liverpool in 2026 but finished the 2025–26 season with Rennes before moving to Anfield. He is a French centre-back and France Under-21 international, not a midfielder or full-back.
