Barcelona in line to pocket €10 million as former star linked with summer move to Manchester United and Chelsea - Reports
Barcelona could receive a €10 million boost in the upcoming summer transfer window if OGC Nice decide to sell centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo. The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Jean-Clair Todibo, who joined OGC Nice from Barca in January 2021, has been one of the best central defenders in Ligue 1 this season. He has made 25 appearances for Nice across competitions, providing two assists.
22 of those appearances have come in Ligue 1, where he has helped his team keep 12 clean sheets. Nice are currently fifth in French top-tier football with 43 points from 26 matches. As a result of his reliable and consistent performances, the Frenchman has reportedly drawn interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
Barcelona added a 20% sell-on clause to the player's contract while selling him to Nice for €8 million. Thus, if Todibo secures a move this summer, it would provide a much-needed financial boost for La Blaugrana.
As per SPORT, Nice are ready to sell the Frenchman and his price tag is expected to be around €50 million, 20% of which would be €10 million.
