Overview
- Chelsea have agreed personal terms with 20-year-old France U21 centre-back Jérémy Jacquet, who is keen on the move.
- Talks with Rennes are ongoing after a face-to-face mission, but Chelsea’s offer remains below the French club’s valuation.
- Rennes are seeking roughly €65m and, per fresh reporting, have indicated a price that could exceed the €64m Jérémy Doku sale.
- The Ligue 1 side would prefer to keep Jacquet until the summer, leveraging interest from Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Liverpool.
- Chelsea have planned for a January defensive addition, including a Champions League registration slot, as they weigh alternatives such as Jacobo Ramon and Marcos Senesi.
