Overview
- Rennes have rejected interest around €50m and value Jacquet in the €60–70m range for a club-record sale.
- Chelsea are readying an offer near €50m and propose signing Jacquet now then loaning him back to Rennes, with David Datro Fofana recalled to free a loan slot.
- The 20-year-old has told Rennes he wants the move to Stamford Bridge; reports say personal terms are aligned, though not yet formalized.
- Talks advanced this week with what Fabrizio Romano described as very positive conversations, yet no club-to-club agreement is in place.
- Head coach Habib Beye says Jacquet is essential to Rennes’ objectives, as Chelsea monitor alternatives such as Marcos Senesi and competition from top clubs lingers.
