Liverpool are keeping tabs on Barcelona defender ahead of the summer transfer window. Jacquet, a centre-back, was considered for a winter transfer but remained at Rennes for six more months to continue his development.

The Reds, alongside Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea, are all reportedly interested in signing Jules Kounde from Barcelona this summer. According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are closely monitoring Kounde’s situation at Barca despite his long-term commitment to the club.

Arne Slot’s side are targeting a strong defensive full-back to complement the attacking Jeremie Frimpong, signed last summer. Barca remain publicly committed to Kounde, who has cemented his place as Flick’s first-choice right-back, but financial considerations could ultimately influence their decision.
