Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are all interested in signing Jean-Clair Todibo. And they have now been given an advantage in his pursuit. According to 90min, OGC Nice are willing to sell the 23-year-old at the end of the season.
According to the report, several English clubs have sent scouts to watch the defender in action this season. Furthermore, European heavyweights such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen are interested in signing the Frenchman. Clubs in Italy are also said to be keeping an eye on the Frenchman.
Todibo is a proven performer in Ligue 1, and he could be a good signing for all three English clubs. Arsenal needs to strengthen their defense, and the arrival of Todibo will allow them to rotate key players like William Saliba more frequently. The 23-year-old is unquestionably talented enough to play in the Premier League, and he has the potential to be a key player for the North London club.
Meanwhile, with Thiago Silva nearing the end of his career, Chelsea will need to add more depth to their defense. According to recent reports, the veteran Brazilian defender is also linked to his former club Fluminense.
Since the change in ownership, the Blues have been very active in the transfer market, spending millions of pounds on new signings. Todibo would be an excellent acquisition if they were to sign a quality central defender.
In terms of Manchester United, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are the club’s only reliable central defenders right now. Manchester United require more options, and the 23-year-old Frenchman certainly fits the bill. The Red Devils also attempted to sign him during the summer transfer window.
Todibo could be Harry Maguire’s long-term replacement if he leaves in the coming months. Any player would be tempted to join big Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, or Manchester United, and the 23-year-old is likely to be tempted if an official offer is on the table.
All three clubs have the financial muscle to complete the transaction, but it remains to be seen whether they can reach an agreement with Nice. The defender is under contract with Nice until 2027, and the club will try to recoup as much as possible for him.
