UEFA Champions League
Jérémy Jacquet has become one of the names being considered by Real Madrid for the upcoming summer transfer window. The 'Blancos' are calmly managing the closing of the winter market but are already planning important decisions for the summer.
The French center-back from Stade Rennes is on a priority list that responds to an evident need. At Valdebebas, they understand that reinforcing the defense will be necessary to regain competitive stability. The club's policy has been clear in January. No last-minute signings are expected, and the only operation was the loan of Endrick. However, this does not imply immobilism in the medium term.
Florentino Pérez considers it essential to incorporate, at the very least, a young center-back with potential. In this context, Jérémy Jacquet gains importance, although the operation is not expected to be straightforward.
Jérémy Jacquet, a bet for the present and future
At just 20 years old, Jérémy Jacquet stands out for his imposing physique, close to 1.90 meters tall, and for a maturity uncommon for his age. His development in Ligue 1 has not gone unnoticed.
The defender was trained at Stade Rennes and gained experience at Clermont Foot during two key loans. This experience has been fundamental for his current breakthrough. Jacquet has been a French international in all youth categories, from U-17 to U-21. In France, they see him as a future center-back for the senior team.
His profile fits what Real Madrid is looking for: physical power, good ball distribution, and room for growth. However, the competition is fierce.
Premier League Pressure: Liverpool and Chelsea on the Prowl
The major issue for Real Madrid is the strong interest from the Premier League. Liverpool and Chelsea have closely monitored Jérémy Jacquet's progress over the past few months. Reports from England suggest that the center-back could prioritize a move to the Premier League, where financial power and competitive continuity carry significant weight in such decisions.
Fabrizio Romano has dampened Madrid's optimism by indicating that the options for the 'Blancos' have weakened against the English giants. Not even Bayern Munich seems like a realistic option anymore. It seems that the defender's future will be decided between France, Spain, or England.

Real Madrid's Defensive Urgencies
Internal circumstances are prompting Real Madrid to act. The defensive situation has been a concern for almost two seasons, with multiple setbacks accumulated. Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba's contracts expire in June, and their renewals are not guaranteed. Age and physical issues weigh heavily in the decision-making.
Éder Militao is still recovering from a serious muscle injury, while Raúl Asencio has shin problems. Álvaro Arbeloa has had to improvise more than once. Dean Huijsen has also struggled to find consistency and has played on several occasions while injured. All of this reinforces the need for a structural signing.
Jérémy Jacquet and the Possible Nod from Mbappé
In this scenario, Jérémy Jacquet emerges as a market opportunity. His value is around 20 million, although Rennes could demand close to 30. According to sources close to the club, Kylian Mbappé has reportedly given his approval for the deal. The forward is well aware of his compatriot's potential.
There are other names on the Whites' agenda, but Jérémy Jacquet continues to gather internal support. Real Madrid knows that time is not on their side. If they do not act swiftly, the Premier League could seal a deal that the 'Blancos' consider essential for their defensive future.
