Jean-Clair Todibo may not finish the season with his club OGC Nice.

After having long opposed his departure, Nice would now have its international full-back Jean-Clair Todibo ready this month.

Todibo to replace Varane?

According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United have started negotiations with Nice for the transfer of the talented French central defender. The Gym is willing to let its player go for an amount of 60 million euros.

Manchester United are in the market for a new central defender and Todibo is high on their list of priorities. On the Old Trafford side, the current Aiglon could take the place of his compatriot Raphaël Varane. The latter was announced on departure, having lost the confidence of his manager Erik Ten Hag.

Barcelona, the player’s former club, which retains 20% of the sale price, is closely monitoring developments in this matter.
