Personal terms have been agreed with Liverpool and the defender is set to join on a 5 and a half year contract until June 2031, with the option to extend for another 12 months. Medical done and he will join LFC in the summer.

Jacquet broke through into the Rennes first team at the tail end of last season and has played 18 of their 20 matches in Ligue 1 this campaign. The 20-year-old has made five appearances for France Under-21s, but is yet to earn a cap for the senior side.

We're definitely loading up on youth. A 20 year old centre back for the future to eventually play along with Leoni. If those two step up we could have the CB position locked down for the next 5-10 years.
