Liverpool-Bound Jeremy Jacquet Faces Possible Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery

Jérémy Jacquet
January 2026

Jeremy Jacquet suffered a left shoulder injury and may need surgery, putting the remainder of his 2025-26 season at risk before his planned summer move to Liverpool. Jacquet left Rennes’ 3-1 loss to Lens in significant discomfort. Reporting claims an operation could be required, and Rennes coach Habib Beye described the outlook as serious, with Jacquet set for weeks out at minimum and potentially missing the rest of the campaign through rehabilitation.

Dortmund bend policy to keep Adeyemi

Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)
October 2025

Dortmund are accelerating renewal talks with Jorge Mendes to extend Karim Adeyemi beyond 2027, potentially to 2030–31, with a salary bump and a rare release clause. The club has historically shunned clauses but previously granted exceptions (Erling Haaland, Serhou Guirassy). Speed of negotiations signals intent to protect asset value and squad continuity. Dortmund will balance wage structure and resale protection by setting a high, time-phased clause and performance triggers. Mendes wants flexibility for elite moves; Dortmund want cost certainty and buyout control. Agreement likely hinges on add-ons (goals, minutes, Champions League progress) and image-rights harmony to avoid precedent risks with other young attackers.

Zirkzee poised to request January exit; West Ham leading chase

Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United)
October 2025

After limited minutes under Ruben Amorim and a difficult year, Zirkzee is ready to ask out; West Ham are positioned to move for the £36m 2024 signing. Lack of trust and form at Old Trafford drives search for a reset and regular football.

Borini’s shock return boosts Salford’s attack

Fabio Borini (Salford City)
October 2025

Borini signs a short-term deal to January after a month training with the squad, returning to England six years after his last spell. His experience fills a depth gap while Jay Bird recovers, giving Karl Robinson a proven outlet during a congested period. He targets immediate adaptation to League Two’s tempo, offering leadership in sessions and in-game management. Salford expect him to mentor younger forwards and raise chance quality in the box. Short contract de-risks the move while keeping winter recruitment optional.
