Newcastle United are eager to hold talks with Jean-Clair Todibo, who wants to join Juventus this summer as the transfer saga is a complicated one.
According to HITC, Newcastle United are looking to tie up a move for Jean-Clair Todibo, as the club could hold talks with the French defender’s camp. OGC Nice is open to a sale and has agreed on a deal with West Ham for the Frenchman, who reportedly wants a move to Real Madrid.
Newcastle United are trying to sign Jean-Clair Todibo
Newcastle United are in the market for top-draw defenders, as Eddie Howe wants to strengthen the backline ahead of the harsh season. The magpies enter the latest campaign with high hopes and plenty of expectations as they aim to crash into the top four race.
The late-season loss of Jamal Lascelles and Sven Botman to long-term injuries has seen the need to sign central defenders become urgent. They have made forays for a few players, and now they are keen to hold talks with Jean-Clair Todibo, who is undergoing a complicated period in the market due to growing interest.
Newcastle United feel that Todibo is still very much in the market and could still see a move to the Premier League as a possibility. The defender’s situation still makes it a possibility, but there are doubts whether the Magpies have a realistic chance.
West Ham had agreed on a fee with Nice, but it appears the player may not favour a move to the London Stadium and has set sights on a move to Italy to join Juventus. However, without any concrete moves from the other suitors, the West Ham-linked defender remains in the market for now.
Todibo’s next move?
Todibo might have wanted to join Manchester United earlier, but a UEFA competition rule prevented a deal from materialising. However, he still has a choice of clubs, and as things stand, he seemingly prefers a switch to Juventus.
The issue here is that Juventus might like the player, but there are doubts about whether they will spend as much as NIce wants for the defender. The West Ham agreement also shows how much Nice wants for the Frenchncentre-back, and hence, it remains an open race, especially for Newcastle United to try and make a move.
