Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Rennes defender, Jeremy Jacquet, ahead of a possible transfer this January.
Jacquet is believed to be eager to sign for the Blues, but both clubs are yet to agree a fee.
Rennes are reportedly demanding a club-record fee around €65m to sell the 20-year-old.
Chelsea’s initial bid is lower than that, but negotiations are still ongoing for Jacquet.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X: “Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Jeremy Jacquet, the clear main target at centre back.
“Contract ready, player keen and talks ongoing with Rennes asking for club record sale fee around €65m.
“CFC bid currently lower. A mission to France already took place.”
