Juventus has taken a firm step in its attempt to sign Jean-Clair Todibo, presenting a first concrete offer to Nice. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Turin club has put forward an expensive loan with a purchase option set at 35 million euros, including bonuses. However, this initial proposal has not met expectations.
Barcelona, Todibo's former team, is closely following the negotiations as they retained 20% of any future transfer of the French defender. At 24 years old, Todibo has become a coveted piece in the transfer market, with several clubs showing interest in his signing.
Todibo, Juventus' defensive target
Despite West Ham United offering a more attractive financial package, including a mandatory purchase option of up to 36 million euros, the Niza defender has made it clear that his preference is to join the Vecchia Signora. He has already agreed on personal terms with Juventus and is willing to wait as long as necessary for the deal to materialize.
The newspaper Nice-Matin reports that, although Juventus' initial offer does not reach the figures proposed by West Ham, the Italian club remains committed to negotiating. Both Nice and Todibo believe that Juventus can improve its offer, as they did in 2022 when they signed Gleison Bremer from Torino for 47 million euros.
Todibo, who arrived at Nice from Barcelona for 8.5 million euros, has a contract with the French club until June 2027. The progress of this negotiation will be closely monitored by Barcelona, which could benefit financially from a potential transfer.
