Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on French international defender Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been linked with Manchester United as well.
A report from Football Transfers has claimed that Manchester United will have to compete with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich if they want to sign Jean-Clair Todibo in the coming months. The 24-year-old OGC Nice defender was linked with a move this month, but a January transfer seems unlikely.
What Does the Future Have in Store for Jean-Clair Todibo?
OGC Nice will not want to sanction the departure of a key player midway through the season. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat Bayern Munich to his signature in the coming months.
The Red Devils are in desperate need of a quality central defender, and Todibo has emerged as a viable target. The 24-year-old has established himself as a key player for the French club, and he has the quality to thrive in the Premier League as well.
Raphael Varane has been linked with the move away from Manchester United, and the Red Devils will have to bring in a quality replacement. The French international defender would certainly be a superb option and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Bayern Munich Want Todibo
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich could use more depth in the defence as well. The Bundesliga champions will be hoping to win the Champions League in the coming months, and they need top-class players in order to match up the European elite. The Bavarian outfit have done quite well domestically, but their performance in Europe has not been up to the mark.
They are clearly lacking in the defensive department, and someone like Todibo will help them improve and tighten up at the back. The opportunity to join big clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich will be a tempting proposition for the French international defender, and he will look to join a club where he can win major trophies.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs manage to secure an agreement with Nice at the end of the season. The French outfit will look to demand the premium for their prized prospect, and Todibo is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition.
