Liverpool Secure Two Defensive Signings Ahead of 2026-27

Liverpool have already signed defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for £60m and 18‑year‑old centre‑back Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien, as part of a defensive rebuild for 2026‑27.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool have moved quickly in the summer window, securing Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for a reported £60m. The French centre‑back, who recovered from a shoulder injury last month, is seen as a key piece to shore up a defence that struggled earlier in the season.

Alongside Jacquet, the club added 18‑year‑old Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien, a long‑term project aimed at building depth for the future. With two signings already in place, Liverpool signal that further defensive reinforcements will follow as the 2026‑27 campaign approaches.
