OGC Nice sets asking price for Man Utd transfer target Jean-Clair Todibo

There has been a development in the potential transfer of Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice to Manchester United, as the French club has reportedly set an asking price for the talented centre-back. Todibo, who has been on United’s radar for some time now, could be on the move at the end of the current season.

Manchester United have been looking to strengthen their defense, and Todibo is seen as a key target in their squad rebuild plans under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. In addition to Todibo, United are also considering a move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, as they aim to bolster their backline.

Reports suggest that Nice has put a £40m price tag on Todibo for the upcoming summer transfer window. This valuation makes Todibo a more affordable option compared to Branthwaite, although the price could escalate if a bidding war ensues for the talented defender.

Aside from Manchester United, there are other Premier League clubs and European teams keeping tabs on Todibo. The 24-year-old, who joined Nice from Barcelona in 2021, has impressed during his time at the club, making 128 appearances so far. His contract with Nice runs until 2027.

Todibo earned his first international cap for France in September and has since made two appearances for his country. His performances have garnered interest from top clubs across Europe, with Chelsea and Tottenham also linked with a potential move for him in previous transfer windows.

Manchester United were reportedly close to securing Todibo’s signature in a £34.1m deal last August, and they were once again strongly linked with a move for him in January. However, with the asking price set by Nice, it remains to be seen if United, Chelsea, or Tottenham will reignite their interest in Todibo this summer.

As the transfer window approaches, negotiations and discussions are expected to intensify, with clubs looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season. For Manchester United, Todibo could be a crucial addition to their defensive ranks as they seek to challenge for top honors domestically and in Europe.
