The France youth international emerged as one of Europe's most promising centre backs after PSG previously had reservations about his development. Liverpool's move reflects their long-term planning under Arne Slot, with the 6'4" defender now set to join after completing rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.
Jacquet's rise contrasts sharply with PSG's earlier decision to pass on him in favor of Sékou Doucouré, who failed to progress into the first team. The commanding presence currently ranks among Europe's most effective defenders in aerial duel success rate, making him a natural fit for Liverpool's evolving style that emphasizes ball-playing defenders.
