Overview
- Multiple reports say Liverpool have agreed an initial £55m plus add-ons deal, rising to roughly £60m (€70m), for centre-back Jeremy Jacquet to join in the summer.
- Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports Manchester United attempted a late hijack of the transfer but were unsuccessful with Jacquet already aligned to Liverpool.
- Fabrizio Romano reports a short-term move for Lutsharel Geertruida is considered off after Sunderland, where he is on loan from RB Leipzig, could not progress talks in time.
- Rennes resisted a mid-season sale as Chelsea explored a January move, and Liverpool capitalised by striking a pre-agreement for a post-season arrival.
- With the window closing at 7pm and injuries thinning their back line, Liverpool face the run-in without new defensive cover before Jacquet’s summer arrival.
