Jean-Clair Todibo, signed from Toulouse by Barcelona for €8.5m plus €7m in variables, is being sought by Manchester United for a €30m deal. It is reported that the player has given his approval to the move, with manager Ten Hag requesting him to replace Harry Maguire.
Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle have also expressed interest.
This article will discuss the transfer gossip surrounding the ex-Barcelona starlet, and the implications of the expected bargain deal.
Todibo to Man Utd
Jean-Clair Todibo appears to be nearing a move to Manchester United. He has agreed to the terms of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag, and the club are closing in on a €30m deal at a bargain price. The ex-Barcelona starlet was signed from Toulouse and had unsuccessful loan spells with Benfica and Schalke. He was bought by Nice for €8.5m plus €7m in variables. It is reported that Nacional claims Todibo has given the ok to Man Utd.
This would be the fifth signing for Man Utd. Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, and Rasmus Hojlund are the other players who have been signed. Hojlund is expected to be unveiled soon. Ten Hag has requested Todibo to replace Harry Maguire, who lost his captaincy to Bruno Fernandes and is likely to leave the club. Jamie OHara has suggested Maguire should go to Tottenham.
Todibo has been on Man Utd’s radar for several months and is also being targeted by Newcastle, Liverpool, and Arsenal. The France U20 international currently plays for Nice in Ligue 1 and is being considered for a double raid with Rennes by Liverpool. He is also linked with a move to Crystal Palace. Despite the interest from several clubs, Todibo appears to have given the ok to Man Utd.
Ten Hag & Deal
The former player from the Spanish team has given the okay for the potential transfer to be made to the English club, with a discounted price for the move. This could be a significant move for Manchester United, as Jean-Clair Todibo is a highly regarded player. The French defender has been associated with the English side for some time and is reportedly in good form for his current team, Nice.
Barcelona signed Todibo from Toulouse, but he had unsuccessful loan spells at Benfica and Schalke. Nice bought the player for €8.5m plus €7m in variables, and now Nacional claims Todibo has given the okay to Man Utd, with the English club expected to seal a €30m deal for Todibo.
This is because manager Erik ten Hag has requested Todibo to replace Harry Maguire, who is likely to leave the club. Ten Hag prefers Varane and Martinez as his central defense partnership, and Todibo’s approval of the move could be the final step for the transfer to be completed.
The discounted fee for Todibo’s move could be a key factor in helping Manchester United continue to strengthen their squad.
Nice & Ligue 1
Nice, Todibo’s current team, currently plays in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. The club is based in the city of Nice, on the French Riviera. Ligue 1 is the highest level of the French football league system, consisting of 20 teams. The season runs from August to May and each team plays 38 matches. The top two teams earn automatic promotion to the UEFA Champions League.
Todibo is enjoying a successful spell at Nice, having played in all but two of their league games this season. The 21-year-old has made a total of 22 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring two goals. He has also made four appearances in the UEFA Europa League, helping Nice reach the knockout stages.
Todibo has been linked with a move to Man Utd, who are reportedly close to sealing a €30m deal for the defender. His performances in Ligue 1 have been impressive, leading to speculation that he could be a bargain signing for the Premier League club.
The ex-Barcelona starlet has reportedly given the ok to Ten Hag as Man Utd close in on their fifth signing at a bargain price. With his approval, Todibo could soon be on his way to Manchester.
