La Liga
Jéremy Jacquet has firmly made his way onto Real Madrid's agenda as one of the great opportunities in the upcoming summer transfer market. The white club knows that it must strengthen its defense no matter what after a season marked by injuries and lack of continuity in the backline.
In this context, the name of Jéremy Jacquet is gaining weight in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu. The young French center-back has been followed for months by the club's scouts, who are looking for a physical, fast, and promising profile.
The defensive scenario requires action. The continuous absences have highlighted the need to incorporate a reliable center-back for the next season.
Jéremy Jacquet, a future bet for Real Madrid
Jéremy Jacquet is only 20 years old, but he already has the qualities that fit the profile sought by Real Madrid. His imposing physique, close to 1.90 meters in height, and his ability to defend long spaces are particularly eye-catching.
The Stade Rennes center-back has completed two seasons of growth after his loan to Clermont, where he gained experience and competitive maturity. His progression has been consistent and sustained. So much so that Rennes decided to buy him back for a minimal amount and renew his contract until 2029, aware of the potential the player holds in the medium and long term.
Mbappé drives the signing from within
As DefensaCentral reports, the operation has acquired a special dimension due to the direct involvement of Kylian Mbappé. The French forward has conveyed to the Real Madrid hierarchy his firm belief that Jacquet deserves a strong commitment.
Mbappé considers that investing around 30 million euros in Jéremy Jacquet is a market opportunity, both due to his age and sporting projection. His knowledge of French football and the Ligue 1 environment reinforces his opinion, which has not gone unnoticed by Florentino Pérez.

The defense, a strategic priority
Real Madrid is facing a critical moment in its defensive line. The recurring injuries of Éder Militao have raised doubts about his long-term reliability, while other key names are ending their contracts in June.
Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba could leave the club, leaving a significant void in the defense. This is compounded by the recent inconsistency of other defenders and accumulated muscular problems.
For this reason, the signing of a young, strong, and promising center-back has become an absolute priority for the sports management.
Jacquet compared to other market options
Before focusing on Jéremy Jacquet, Real Madrid considered alternatives such as Ibrahima Konaté or Dayot Upamecano, but both were ruled out for different reasons. Other options like Castello Lukeba are still on the table, although Jacquet's profile is particularly appealing due to his price and potential for improvement.
The Madrid forward is aware that Real Madrid is looking for a new center-back for the next year, and Jacquet is one of the most promising players in the French scene. Currently, his cost is affordable, but his price could skyrocket in the coming months.
