According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea want to interfere with Arsenal's attempt to sign Jérémy Jacquet and are also in negotiations with Stade Rennais over the transfer.

Team Talk reports that Real Madrid are also showing interest in Jacquet, and that both they and Arsenal consider him a potential summer arrival rather than a January signing. Both clubs are said to have a strong interest in the player.

According to sources for TEAMtalk, Arsenal are becoming serious candidates to sign Jeremy Jacquet. Berta is monitoring Jacquet closely, and the north London outfit have a very high opinion of the player. According to sources close to Rennes, the club thinks a summer deal would result in a higher fee, making them happy to wait, and they also believe a bidding war could occur as a large number of clubs are showing an interest. Jacquet is viewed as a high-quality option to join if Ben White departs this summer, which means a summer transfer is ideal for Arsenal, rather than a move in January.

The BBC reported on Arsenal’s interest in Jeremy Jacquet in November, stating the club considered bidding for the 20-year-old centre-back at that time. The Athletic’s James McNicholas noted that Arsenal continue to follow the French centre-half, adding that he would command a considerable fee having signed a new contract until 2029 in May. Reports elsewhere have named Manchester United and Liverpool among Jacquet’s admirers. For now, Jacquet is expected to remain at Rennes for the remainder of the season.
