Jérémy Jacquet Transfer from Rennes to Liverpool
An agreement has been reached between Liverpool and Rennes for the transfer of Jérémy Jacquet. The agreement was concluded in the winter transfer window but will take effect in July. Jérémy Jacquet has signed a long-term contract with Liverpool and will officially remain with his formative club until the end of the season.

According to L’Équipe, this setup addresses economic imperatives for Liverpool by allowing them to defer the financial impact, and it also avoids the administrative and sporting complications of a loan. Rennes will retain Jérémy Jacquet without restriction until the summer. This solution was considered more comfortable by both teams.
