OGC Nice chief sends strong message to Manchester United about two transfer targets

Manchester United have been strongly linked with moves for OGC Nice duo Jean-Clair Todibo and Khephren Thuram.

Nice sporting director Florent Ghisolfi claims two of their brightest talents won’t be allowed to leave the Ligue 1 club easily this month, despite both of the players being on Manchester United’s radar.

In an interview with Get Football News France, Ghisolfi sent a strong message to United and any other club interested in signing the highly-rated Todibo or Thuram.

“We want to have stability, and stability is keeping your best players,” Ghisolfi said. “Jean-Clair and Khephren Thuram are definitely that. We absolutely want to keep them.”

It is no surprise that Todibo continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford. The 24-year-old centre-back is one of the best performers in Ligue 1 and is integral to how Nice are enjoying a positive campaign as they sit second in Ligue 1.

Todibo is believed to be reluctant to leave the French club this month because he is focused on making the France squad for Euro 2024.

Meanwhile, a player like Thuram would be a boost for United’s midfield department.
