PSG previously showed interest in the France youth international but hesitated, choosing Sékou Doucouré instead. While Doucouré failed to progress into the PSG first team, Jacquet has developed into one of Europe's most promising center-backs, particularly excelling in aerial duels where he ranks just behind Virgil van Dijk in key metrics.
Standing at 6'4", Jacquet has become a commanding presence in defense with improved passing range and composure in possession, making him a natural fit for Liverpool's evolving style under Arne Slot. The club expects him to join after completing rehabilitation from shoulder surgery that limited his recent appearances.
