Centre back price tag
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has suggested that the center-back could be on the move this summer for a fee of around €45m. Todibo, who joined Ligue 1 side Nice on loan from Barcelona in February 2021, made the move permanent in June of the same year.
He has since established himself as a regular starter for the club and received his first call-up to the French senior national team for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland.
The 23-year-old defender has had an impressive career so far, making his international debut for France’s under-20 team in 2018. He is now being touted as one of the most promising young defenders in Europe and has attracted interest from several top clubs.
EPL clubs chase
If he does move this summer, it will be interesting to see which club manages to secure his signature. Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle will undoubtedly face stiff competition from other clubs across Europe for Todibo’s services.
However, it seems likely that the young defender will continue to attract interest from top clubs for years to come, given his potential and ability. Summarize in point form
