Jérémy Jacquet (born 13 July 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ligue 1 club Rennes. He is set to join Premier League club Liverpool at the beginning of the 2026–27 season.[2][3][4]
Club career
Rennes
On 13 January 2024, Jacquet made his professional debut for Rennes in a 2–0 victory against Nice, coming off the bench in the 86th minute.[5] A few weeks later, he joined fellow Ligue 1 side Clermont Foot on loan for the rest of the season.[6] His loan was extended after the end of the season, and he continued with Clermont Foot for the 2024–25 season, now playing in Ligue 2. However, his loan was cancelled and he was recalled by Rennes in February 2025, with his parent club reportedly having to pay €900,000 to end the loan early.[7] On 26 May 2025, he extended his contract with Rennes until 2029.[8]
Liverpool
On 2 February 2026, Jacquet agreed to join Liverpool in the summer under a pre‑contract deal, with the transfer fee reported at £55m plus £5m in add-ons.[9][10]
International career
Jacquet has played for France at many youth international levels.[11] He was named in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship Team of the Tournament in 2024, where France lost in the final to Spain.[12]
Personal life
Born in Bondy, a northeastern suburb of Paris, France, Jacquet is of Guadeloupean descent.[13][1]
