Rennes want around €65m for Jeremy Jacquet, but Chelsea don’t want to pay that much with talks said to be ongoing according to Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea were expected to be quiet this month, but there’s been a change of plan, with the Blues looking to bring in another centre back.
According to reports Chelsea have three names on their list, believed to be Jacquet, Jacobo Ramon and Marcos Senesi.
Rennes want €65m for Chelsea target Jeremy Jacquet
However, Chelsea’s main target is believed to be Jacquet, and the Blues are working on a deal for the France under-21 international.
Chelsea are said to have had conversations with Rennes, but as of yet the Blues haven’t made an offer for the 20-year-old.
There’s said to be interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Arsenal, so Chelsea need to move fast if they want to get a deal done, and Romano has now provided an update.
“Chelsea had direct contact with Rennes, even face to face to go all in,” he told his YouTube channel.
“So Jacquet is the first option in a three man shortlist.
“Rennes want a record fee, something in the region of €65m, Chelsea at the moment are not spending that money, but the negotiation is ongoing between the clubs.
“The Player wants to go to Chelsea, Jeremy Jacquet has opened doors to Chelsea move, so personal terms are not an issue, the contract is ready, Jacquet wants Chelsea move.”
Chelsea trying to move on Axel Disasi
Whilst the Blues are looking to bring Jacquet in, they are also hoping to find a solution for Axel Disasi this month.
Disasi hasn’t featured for the Blues this season, although he’s played for the development side, and is said to be attracting interest from a number of clubs.
The Frenchman is expected to leave this month, with Roma, Lyon and Paris FC among the clubs reportedly showing an interest.
Chelsea Push On And Sign Him Along Side With Jacobo Ramon Of Como And If You Can’t Afford That Swap Badishile With Jeremy Jaquet And Pay For Ramon Or Pay For Jeremy And Swap With Ramon Chelsea Need To Strengthen Their Defense Before Even Playing Against Arsenal In Febuary 3 Because Chelsea Really Need To Win That Competition And Be Ready To Face Manchester City In The Final In March At Wembly Stadium Because Man City Have 2 Goal Advantage Over Newcastle And I Think Chelsea Need A Total Or 2 Or More Goal To Secure In Place In The Final And Also I Think Rosenior Should Have Study Arsenal Style Of Play And I Think I Said It In One Of My Comment That Chelsea Should Be Alerted That Maybe Arsenal Transform From 4 2 3 1 To 4 3 3 Formation And That Was The Formation Used Against Chelsea And Arsenal Already Knows Chelsea Weak Point, But Chelsea You Should Develope Your Weak Point And Pressure Them In Their Weak Point And You Win, So For Now I Would Like Chelsea To Go For (To Be Continue)…… Identification (Fidelis)
So As I Was Saying In My Last Statement That Chelsea Should Go For The Following Player Like: J. Jaquet(I Think He Is Talented And Capable To Defend Really Well And I Know Chelsea Are Putting In Their Effort To Get The Deal So I Believe With His Strength And Other Like Chalobah,James,Cucurella,and Other To Come Join Together I Think The Back Line Will Be More Stronger Than Ever And With The Return Of Colwill I Think It Well Be Outstanding,magnificant And Arsenal Defense Will Come And Seek The Power From Chelsea Defense ha! ha!! ha!!!) As Well As J. Ramon,A.Luinn GK For Madrid But I Think He His Not Have Enough Minute To Play With Courtios As First Choice That Filip May Be Free To Go And Sanchez Become The Second Choice Even Though Rosenior Said That He Doesn’t Have 1 Or 2 Choice That You Need To Work For It But Thanks Be To Sanchez I Helped Chelsea In Some Areas As Well, O.Diomande, J. Neves, J. Morgan, J. Alvarez Etc And Let Go Of:Filip,Benoit,Guiu,George,Sterling,Disasi,Fofana,Other Fofana,Gittens,Etc.
