Liverpool and Chelsea are spearheading Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the race to indicator Rennes centre-ago Jeremy Jacquet, according to records.
The two Premier League sides are both peeking at finalizing a favorite centre-ago for the future amid woes around that detect of their teams this season.
Liverpool have an out-of-type and aging Virgil van Dijk via Ibrahima Konate – that possesses been far from his impeccable – as their existent centre-ago pairing, while they have miniscule perfuse after Giovanni Leoni prefered up a pensive injury earlier this season.
The centre-ago postures have been prefered out as an detect that Chelsea have to centralize if they are to press for the Premier League title next season via complex pairings risked by recently-sacked Enzo Maresca and existent honcho Liam Rosenior.
And Rennes protector Jacquet, that possesses been enveloped 5 times by France Under-21s, possesses showed up as a opportunity finalizing for both Liverpool and Chelsea in the past the transfer window shuts.
Chelsea are peeking to implement a bargain now for Jacquet, while Liverpool choose to bring him in throughout the summer season and Rennes would reportedly be amenable to a transfer in January if the protector was lent ago for the rest of the season.
Bayern Munich were pretty a caboodle ruled out of the race earlier this week once Bild donor Christian Falk insisted that the Bavarians “are not a big foe” for Jacquet’s signature.
Falk designed in his CF Bayern Insider tower: “Bayern Munich are not a big foe for Jérémy Jacquet’s signature.
“They recognize him, and he possesses a mart for the summer season, yet Bayern are not, at the minute, entailed in arrangements. This standards there’s a big opportunity for the Premier League.
“I assume it will most clearly price roughly €50m [£43.3m] to acquire him. Bayern are still waiting and won’t invest now in the Rennes star. So, I think there’s a pretty cheerful opportunity for Chelsea.”
And now Spanish internet web site Fichajes have asserted that Real Madrid ‘are asleep at the wheel’ in the race to indicator Jacquet via Premier League sides Liverpool and Chelsea ‘catching the lead’ for the Frenchman.
Real Madrid’s ‘biggest priority’ is asserted to be the focus from the Premier League as president Florentino Perez ‘contemplates it critical to indicator at the terribly least one young, pledging centre-ago’.
It is realised that the 20-year-worn ‘can prioritise a slide to the Premier League, whereby finances and consistent competition tote ironclad weight in these sorts of resolutions.’
And Fabrizio Romano insists both Liverpool and Chelsea are still importuning for Jacquet via the transfer wizard impermanent on an upgrade.
Romano told his YouTube conduit: “Finally, on Jeremy Jacquet, this is a story that should not be underestimated. Chelsea linger terribly boisterous, Liverpool are still entailed, and Bayern Munich now sort unrealistic because the player favours a slide to the Premier League.
“This can be a now-or-never ever before opportunity ahead of the summer season. Chelsea pine the bargain done conveniently, while Rennes pine to sell now yet permit the player to disclaim in the summer season instead than conveniently.
“Liverpool linger amenable to a summer season bargain, while Chelsea persist to press via the player’s camp. This race is terribly a caboodle recurring.”
