Chelsea have had direct contact with Rennes over the last 24 hours for defender Jeremy Jacquet according to Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n
The Blues were expected to be quiet this month, but things appear to have changed and Chelsea are now exploring a move for a centre back.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are thought to have three names on their radar, but whether they end up getting any of them remains to be seen.

The Blues lost Levi Colwill to an ACL injury before the start of the season, and despite pleas from then head coach Enzo Maresca they didn\u2019t sign a replacement.<\/p>\n
However, new head coach Liam Rosenior seems to have come to the same conclusion that the current crop of centre backs aren\u2019t good enough or possess the skill sets he requires.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have been heavily linked with Jacquet, whilst they are also said to be interested in Como\u2019s Jacobo Ramon.

Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in Jacquet, and Romano has now provided an update on the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can tell you that Chelsea in the last 24 hours had direct contact with Rennes for Jeremy Jacquet,\u201d he told his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe French defender has been in the list of Arsenal for a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cChelsea have now had new contacts with Rennes. There are 2 other options on their list.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacquet is under contract under 2029, and Rennes are reportedly looking for a similar fee to what they received from Manchester City for Jeremy Doku, which was around \u20ac66m.<\/p>\n
Chelsea looking to offload Axel Disasi<\/p>\n
Whilst Chelsea are looking to bring Jacquet in, the Blues are still looking to offload French defender Axel Disasi.<\/p>\n
Disasi has been part of the \u201cbomb\u201d squad and hasn\u2019t played this season, although he has appeared for the club\u2019s development side.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman has reportedly attracted interest from Roma, Lyon and Paris FC, but as of yet no offers have been received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
