Star player for OGC Nice this season, Jean-Clair Todibo had a more than attractive year in the central defense of the Nice club alongside Dante. The Frenchman is clearly one of the best defenders in Ligue 1.

During an interview given to Prime Videothe French international – who will miss the Euro with the Blues this summer – looked back on his season with the Aiglons and also took the opportunity to talk about his idol in football.

The former FC Barcelona player was greatly inspired by Thiago Silva and did not hesitate to offer high praise for the Brazilian legend. » Thiago Silva is my favorite player, he’s my favorite defender. He is too strong. He’s too smart. I don’t know if people watched him when he played for AC Milan. It was really nonsense. And at PSG, I don’t even talk about it. It disgusts the attackers.

What future for Todibo?

Performing well with OGC Nice this season, Jean-Clair Todibo is not sure of continuing the adventure with the Niçois next season. Arriving during the 2021 winter transfer window in Nice, the Frenchman meets the expectations placed on him and has established himself as one of the pillars of the squad.

However, it is not impossible to see him setting sail to find a new, more challenging challenge. Under contract until June 2027, the 24-year-old player will undoubtedly be in demand this summer by more upscale teams. To be continued…
