Juventus have Jean-Clair Todibo at the top of their preferences to strengthen their rearguard. The interest is reciprocated by the player, but Nice have set a considerable price tag. It won’t be easy for the Bianconeri to get there. They are studying ways to get it done anyway, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Le Gym asks for €40M for the center-back. It quickly shut down the proposition of an initial loan with an obligation to buy, which would have delayed most of the disbursement to 2024.
Todibo is pushing to join Juventus. The parties have already struck a deal on his personal terms. He’d make €2M annually plus add-ons if he transferred to Turin. On the other hand, Nice aim to cash in as much as they would have if UEFA hadn’t halted his transfer to Manchester United because the two sides have the same ownership.
The two sides are examining some makeweights to lower the monetary portion of the package. Nice prefer youngsters to the outcasts the Bianconeri are eager to offload. Joseph Nonge and Tarik Muharemovic, who have completed their path with the Next Gen squad, could be of interest to the Ligue 1 outfit.
The Old Lady plots to part ways with Daniele Rugani in the back, while Thiago Motta is assessing their other men whose future hangs in the balance, like Tiago Djaló and youngster Facundo Gonzalez. If Juventus ultimately decided Todibo was too pricey, they’d move onto Wolfsburg’s Maxence Lacroix and Barcelona’s Clément Lenglet and revisit Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior.
