Juve wants to strengthen its central defense with the Frenchman Jean-Clair Todibo. An achievable target for the Old Lady but not at any price, Nice does not intend to sell off one of the key players in its defensive sector.
The people of Nice should hit the jackpot. According to information revealed by the Italian media The Sports Gazette, Juventus Turin has reportedly offered a loan with an option to buy of around 35 million euros (excluding bonuses). Even if this offer is tempting, the Eaglets want more guarantees to accept according to Nice morning. And this is not the first offer that Nice has refused for its defender since West Ham reportedly offered 36 million euros for Jean-Clair Todibo in July, without success.
A departure that would hurt
The central defender is a real part of the team. The native of Cayenne (French Guiana) has already played 136 matches with the Aiglons and has gradually become a real key player in the team. He was a perfect pair with Brazilian international Dante (40 years old). His departure would force the Nice management to quickly find a fallback solution to compensate for him. And replacing Jean-Clair Todibo is not going to be an easy task…
