Bayern Munich would push to recruit one of the most solid and consistent defenders playing in Ligue 1.

Clearly, Bayern Munich really likes French defenders. After having welcomed Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard in recent seasons, and while Dayot Upamecano is still playing there, the reigning German champions would have a new French international in their sights.

According to Football Transfers, Bavarian leaders are currently pushing to recruit Jean-Clair Todibo. Recruited by Nice in 2021 after a failed stint at FC Barcelona, ​​the Aiglons center back has since become a reference for his position in Ligue 1. This has not escaped FCB.

Manchester United want it too!

Currently faced with the absence of Kim Min-jae, requisitioned for the Asian Nations Cup, the Munich club will have to line up the zeros if it wants to convince the OGCN to sell its 24-year-old rock. Especially since other European big names, notably Manchester United, would also be on him.

The site Transfermarkt estimates its value at 35 million euros, but Jean-Clair Todibo is under contract until 2027 with the Gym, which is therefore in a strong position. In the event of a sale, the Riviera leaders, who bought it for 8.5 million euros from Barça, would have to pay 20% of its price to the Blaugrana.
