Juventus put forth an inquiry for Jean-Clair Todibo, although without lodging an offer because of his high valuation. Director Cristiano Giuntoli has been keeping tabs on him for a few years.
According to RMC Sport, Nice value the defender €30M. They are reluctant to lower the price tag because the center-back is coming off an excellent season and is drawing interest from multiple sides. He appeared 46 times in the past campaign. He’s looking for visibility ahead of the 2024 European Champions.
Todibo has been linked to a move to Serie A, to Juventus or other sides, a few times in the past. He burst onto the scene at a young age and moved to Barcelona in 2019 but didn’t pan out. He was loaned out to Schalke 04 and Benfica afterward.
Nice invested €8.5M to lure the youngster in 2021, and he finally blossomed. The Bianconeri don’t appear to be planning a new signing in the back. However, the situation would change if Alex Sandro departed. Al-Hilal resumed pursuing him. The Old Lady would let him go gratis to get rid of his wages if he agreed to terms with the Saudi side, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs (via OneFootball).
Our Take on Juventus and Todibo
A lot would have to happen before they spend that much for a defender. Perhaps they would be content with keeping Facundo Gonzalez if their veteran left.
