This is one of the hot issues of the moment in Ligue 1. At 20 years old, Jérémy Jacquet is already panicking the market, with a rating already inaccessible for most potential buyers, especially in France. The Stade Rennais defender thus finds himself in Chelsea’s sights. With a big offer coming according to information from the English press, confirmed by RMC this Saturday.
The London Blues would thus be willing to already bet 50 million euros on the young international Espoirs tricolor. An appreciable amount certainly but which would not be likely to make the management of the Breton club flinch, which according to the aforementioned radio would not be ready to give in below 70 million euros.
The 4e transfer of L1 history
This would be 10 million euros more than a certain Jérémy Doku, the Belgian will-o-the-wisp sold to Manchester City in 2023. Above all, it would be the third biggest transfer in history made by a Ligue 1 club after Kylian Mbappé (180 million euros for a transfer from Monaco to PSG), Neymar (90 million from PSG to Al-Hilal) and Nicolas Pépé (80 million from Lille to Arsenal).
Note – and this is not necessarily to arrange the affairs of Rennes at the negotiating table – that Jérémy Jacquet would already be in contractual agreement with the Chelsea staff. A starting place in the Blues defense would be promised to him.
