Overview
- Chelsea and Rennes have discussed transfer-fee breakdowns in informal talks, but there is no agreement so far.
- Jeremy Jacquet is understood to be open to joining if the clubs can agree terms, according to recent reporting.
- Rennes are reluctant to sell mid-season, and a sign-then-loan-back structure has been floated in negotiations.
- Reports cite a valuation around £60 million and note rival interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
- Chelsea may need to move defenders out to create space, and Liam Rosenior says any addition must have a clear impact on the team.
