FC Bayern has suffered a setback on the transfer market once again. Liverpool FC secured the contract – as usual for a lot of money.
New teammate for national player Florian Wirtz at Liverpool FC: According to consistent reports, Jérémy Jacquet from Stade Rennes to Anfield Road.
The deal is said to be final, subject to medical examination. However, the 20-year-old central defender is apparently only moving to Liverpool in the summer. The transfer fee is once again tough: the overall package of the Jacquet deal is said to be 70 million euros.
In the fight for the U21 international, who was under contract in Rennes until 2029, Liverpool beat out well-known competition. League rivals FC Chelsea, among others, were said to be very interested, but were probably put off by the high fee. And according to reports, Jacquet was also very popular at FC Bayern.
However, there were probably no concrete efforts on the part of the German record champions. Background: FC Bayern is still waiting for a decision from Dayot Upamecano regarding his future in Munich.
However, there are signs of a turnaround in poker with the 27-year-old Frenchman, whose contract is expiring.
FC Bayern: Is there a threat of an Upamecano explosion?
According to “Sky”, FC Bayern’s sporting leadership around Max Eberl and Christoph Freund is said to have received approval from the supervisory board to withdraw the contract offer that had already been sent to Dayot Upamecano in the next few days – a rigorous step, because this would mean that the long-lasting negotiations would have finally failed and the central defender would leave Munich at the end of the season. FC Bayern would not collect a transfer fee.
If that happens, Eberl, Freund and Co. will have to look for a new defensive player. Jacquet, who has only played 36 league games in his young career, will not be.
Liverpool sees the right-footer as a long-term investment for the defense – also in view of the fact that Ibrahima Konaté’s contract expires in the summer.
