Jean-Clair Todibo has expressed his willingness to join Juventus, with the Italian club actively pursuing the French defender. Juventus have proposed a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause, but OGC Nice have already turned down a €35 million offer from West Ham.
Juventus’ Transfer Strategy
Juventus are keen to bolster their defence with the addition of Todibo, who is currently with OGC Nice. The 24-year-old centre-back, known for his strong defensive skills and ball-playing ability, has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United, which ultimately did not materialise.
Dean Huijsen’s Potential Departure
In a related development, Dean Huijsen is expected to leave Juventus. The 20-year-old Dutch defender, who had extended his contract with Juventus until 2028 and spent time on loan at AS Roma, could be sold to generate profit for the club. This move might facilitate Todibo’s potential transfer to Juventus.
Previous Transfer Attempts
Todibo’s transfer saga has seen various twists, including a failed move to Manchester United last month. Meanwhile, Huijsen’s career has also been marked by loan spells and contract extensions, with his latest stint at AS Roma.
Juventus continue to negotiate with OGC Nice, aiming to secure Todibo’s services and strengthen their defensive line-up for the upcoming season.
