” Great Fighter” – Fabrizio Fresh Updates: £42.7million star prepared to agree Man United move before deadline as full agreement reached
The £42.7 million player has agreed to join Manchester United.
According to media sources, Manchester United are close to signing Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice.
The Red Devils need to strengthen their backline before the summer transfer window closes, and the young French international is anticipated to join them at Old Trafford.
According to L’Equipe, the 23-year-old defender is set to leave the Ligue 1 club for Manchester United.
Nice are already planning for the departure of their central defense to the 20-time English champions, according to the renowned media site.
Manchester United agreed a price with West Ham United to transfer former captain Harry Maguire, but the England international remains at Old Trafford.
Under Erik Ten Hag, he is currently the fourth-choice central defense, and United should bring in Jean-Clair Todibo shortly so that the former Leicester City player falls further down the pecking order and may eventually decide to leave.
Staying with the Red Devils would entail sitting on the bench and jeopardizing his place in the Three Lions’ European Championship team.
Todibo appeared in 33 league games for Nice last season, contributing to the team’s 10 clean sheets.
Due to an uncertain future, the former Barcelona central defender did not even make the roster for the club’s most recent Ligue 1 match against FC Lorient.
He has more than three years left on his deal and is worth approximately £42.7 million (50 million euros).
