Chelsea is still working to sign Jeremy Jacquet as the January transfer window nears its end.
Rennes is hesitant to talk seriously about the transfer, as they prefer not to lose important players in the middle of the season.
The asking price is another hurdle, with Rennes wanting more than they got for Jeremy Doku, reportedly over £57 million.
Chelsea isn’t the only team interested. Liverpool is also trying to finalize a deal before the deadline, while Bayern Munich is observing the situation but hasn’t made a formal offer yet.
With time running out, Chelsea seems to be pushing hard to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes.
