Liverpool have finalised a deal for Jeremy Jacquet in a deal worth up to £60m - but the defender will not move to Anfield until the summer. To commit up to £60m - £55m up front before a potential £5m in add ons - for a 20-year-old is a hefty call but Liverpool view the French centre-back as a long-term investment and someone who will form an integral part of their backline for years to come. The question of whether they could have got him now has a simple answer - Rennes are simply unwilling to sanction a move until the summer. Meanwhile, Liverpool are happy to wait, signing the player on a five-year contract until 2031, with the option for a further year. At Rennes, Jacquet has primarily played in a back three this season.
