Jérémy Jacquet (; born 13 July 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Liverpool and the France national team.
Early life Jérémy Jacquet was born on 13 July 2005 in Bondy, a northeastern suburb of Paris, France. He is of Guadeloupean descent.
He spent his youth career at AS Outre Mer du Bois l'Abbé in Champigny-sur-Marne and RC Joinville in Joinville-le-Pont, both Parisian suburbs, before joining Rennes in 2019. He started his senior career with Rennes B in 2022.
Club career Rennes On 13 January 2024, Jacquet made his professional debut for Rennes in a 2–0 victory against Nice, coming off the bench in the 86th minute. A few weeks later, he joined fellow Ligue 1 side Clermont Foot on loan for the rest of the season. His loan was extended after the end of the season, and he continued with Clermont Foot for the 2024–25 season, now playing in Ligue 2. However, his loan was cancelled and he was recalled by Rennes in February 2025, with his parent club reportedly having to pay €900,000 to end the loan early. On 26 May 2025, he extended his contract with Rennes until 2029.
Liverpool On 2 February 2026, Jacquet agreed to join Liverpool in the summer under a pre‑contract deal, with the transfer fee reported at £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons. He made his debut for Liverpool in a 2–2 draw with Newcastle United at St James' Park on 23 August, in the club's first game of the 2026–27 Premier League season.
International career Jacquet has played for France at many youth international levels. He was named in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship Team of the Tournament in 2024, where France lost in the final to Spain.
Jacquet was one of the 23 players who were called up to the senior French national team by head coach Zinedine Zidane for the UEFA Nations League matches against Turkey, Belgium and Italy during September and October 2026. He went on to make his senior international debut on 28 September, playing the entire match in a 1–0 victory over Belgium at Stade Roi Baudouin.
