Jeremy Jacquet has suddenly emerged as one of the most talked-about young defenders in European football, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich all locked in a quiet but intense battle for his signature.
The 19-year-old centre-back has impressed scouts across the continent with his composure on the ball, aerial dominance and tactical maturity beyond his age. His performances for Rennes this season have not gone unnoticed, pushing him onto the shortlist of several elite clubs preparing for future defensive reinforcements.
Chelsea are understood to be leading the race at this stage. The Premier League club view Jacquet as a priority target and have made progress in recent weeks while monitoring his situation closely. The Blues are keen to secure young defensive talent as part of their long-term project and see Jacquet as a player who could develop into a first-team regular.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have placed Jacquet high on their shortlist. With uncertainty surrounding their defensive depth for future seasons, the Reds believe the Frenchman could be an ideal addition to their evolving squad, combining youth with high potential resale value.
Bayern Munich are also watching closely. The Bundesliga giants could enter the race more seriously if Kim Min-jae departs in the summer, with Jacquet identified as a possible successor in their defensive plans.
