Liverpool Secure Two Defensive Signings Ahead of 2026-27

Arne Slot’s Liverpool have secured Jeremy Jacquet for £60m from Stade Rennais, a young, technically proficient centre‑back who recently recovered from a shoulder injury. The move reflects the club’s focus on strengthening the back line without matching last summer’s £400m spend.

Alongside Jacquet, the club has signed 18‑year‑old Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien, a long‑term project aimed at developing a towering centre‑back for future seasons. These signings signal a measured, structural overhaul of Liverpool’s defence ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.
