This is a rather unexpected outcome. Bogged down in negotiations that were not coming to fruition between OGC Nice and Juventus, Jean-Clair Todibo had even withdrawn since the start of the recovery. In agreement with the club and pending transfer, the defender preferred not to risk getting injured and did not play the first pre-season matches. Problem, the season resumes in a week and he is still under contract with the Aiglons.
The reason? Nice and Juventus have never managed to find common ground. A little tight with its finances, the Italian club has only made low-cost proposals to the French club, which sees in this file its best sale of the summer, and enough to trigger the second on this transfer window. Other clubs have therefore taken advantage of this impossibility of concluding to rush in, despite the desire of the French international (2 caps) to join the Old Lady.
Todibo says yes to West Ham
Until now, Todibo did not want to hear about the other suitors, but the situation has changed. According to our information, he has reviewed his initial position and would be ready to listen to other offers, so much so that he said yes to go to West Ham. If an agreement still needs to be reached between the English club and the player, everything is closed with OGC Nice. A transfer fee has already been reached for several weeks, all that was missing was the green light from the main interested party.
Faced with the Hammers’ financial means, a solution should quickly be found. The Bianconeri are now aware that they have failed in this fight. They have even already started new prospecting elsewhere to strengthen themselves in this position. This is a file that is about to be resolved, despite some lengths. Todibo will join the most competitive championship in the world. This will also allow Nice to be more active, starting by compensating for the departure of the defender.
