Jeremy Jacquet Liverpool Deal Tops £60million as Reds Plot More Moves
Liverpool’s jeremy jacquet liverpool deal is already reshaping the club’s summer plans, with the central defender set to join from Rennes after an agreement was reached earlier in the year. The move is valued at £60million and pushes Liverpool’s spending beyond half a billion after last summer’s record outlay.
Jacquet Joins Liverpool From Rennes
Jacquet is due to arrive as a central defender, giving Liverpool another option in a back line that has already conceded over 50 goals in the Premier League this season. That number sits awkwardly beside the scale of the club’s spending, especially after Liverpool laid out a record £446million last summer and added Milos Kerkez in the same splurge.
The timing also matters because Liverpool are not operating from a settled defensive picture. Ibrahima Konate has yet to sign a new contract, Virgil van Dijk is expected to stay, Giovanni Leoni is due back from injury sometime this summer, and Conor Bradley is not expected to return until next year.
Right Side Decisions For Liverpool
That leaves Liverpool weighing options on the right side as well as in central defence. Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez are the other choices on that flank, while Kostas Tsimikas could step in for Andy Robertson on the left.
The departures looming over Salah and Robertson sharpen the pressure on those decisions. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are described as the immediate worries ahead of their impending exits, while Rio Ngumoha has impressed and the club is still being pushed toward the next round of transfer calls.
£150million Next Target
Antonio Nusa and Yan Diomande are the names now linked with Liverpool’s next attacking push, with the two RB Leipzig players said to be available for a combined £150million. Most of that fee would go on Yan Diomande, while Bradley Barcola would add another £70million and could also play centrally.
Hugo Ekitike is out at least until autumn, so Liverpool’s forward planning already carries one clear delay. Add Jacquet to the running total and the club is around £300million in spending if Barcola is also taken on, a figure that shows how quickly this summer can move from one defensive addition to a far wider rebuild.
