Liverpool’s 6'4" French centre‑back Jeremy Jacquet was almost signed by PSG, who hesitated over his technical readiness. The club later passed on him, and he has since flourished at Rennes, attracting interest across Europe.
Liverpool agreed a £60m deal for Jacquet, who will join after shoulder surgery recovery. The signing fits Arne Slot’s strategy of building a ball‑playing, aerially dominant defence.
