Liverpool have completed the signing of France Under-21 centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in a deal worth up to £60 million ($79 million).

The Premier League club reached an agreement for the 20-year-old in January and he has now signed a five-year contract at Anfield with the option of a further 12 months, subject to international clearance.

The defender is expected to be available from the start of pre-season after missing the end of his last campaign in France with a shoulder injury sustained in February.

“I feel really good, the first impressions are good and I am very happy to start here,“ Jacquet told the club’s website. “It’s a big dream for me.”

Jacquet made 33 senior appearances for Rennes after coming through their youth ranks. He spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Clermont.
