Liverpool Secures Jeremy Jacquet
Liverpool have completed the signing of France Under‑21 defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes. The transfer is reported to be worth up to £60 million, with the player agreeing personal terms in January and now putting pen to paper on a five‑year contract that includes an optional extra year, pending international clearance.
Jacquet’s Reaction and Background
The 20‑year‑old centre‑back expressed his excitement after joining the Premier League champions.
“I feel really good, the first impressions are good and I am very happy to start here,” Jacquet told Liverpool’s official website. “It’s a big dream for me.”
Jacquet came through Rennes’ academy and made 33 senior appearances for the Ligue 1 side. He spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Clermont to gain further experience.
Barcelona Extends Andreas Christensen Contract
In related news, Barcelona have confirmed a contract extension for Danish defender Andreas Christensen, keeping him at Camp Nou until 30 June 2028. The agreement was announced on Wednesday, securing the player’s future for another three years after his previous deal expired at the end of June.
Reports from Spanish media indicate that the 30‑year‑old accepted a notable wage reduction to remain with the Catalan club.
Christensen’s Impact at Barcelona
Although Christensen’s time at Barcelona has been affected by injuries since his arrival from Chelsea in 2022, he has remained a key squad member when fit. He played an important part in the side’s La Liga‑winning debut season and has made 98 appearances for the club.
During his spell in Spain, Christensen has contributed to three La Liga titles and a Copa del Rey triumph, adding to an impressive honours list despite occasional fitness setbacks.
