Real Madrid Step Up Scouting of Rennes Prospect Jérémy Jacquet

Madrid's scouting push reflects a planned summer refresh at center-back.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Madrid scouts have watched the 20-year-old several times this season and delivered positive feedback.
  • The club is assessing options because David Alaba is expected to leave, Antonio Rüdiger's extension is uncertain, and Éder Militão faces a new four-month absence.
  • Jacquet has started all 15 Ligue 1 matches for Rennes and is noted for progressive passing, athleticism and composure on the ball.
  • Competition is forming, with Liverpool credited with strong early interest and prior links to Arsenal and Saudi clubs.
  • He is under contract at Rennes through 2029 with a reported €30–40 million valuation as Madrid also study Marc Guéhi, Dayot Upamecano and Nico Schlotterbeck.
