Italian confirms Manchester United wants £40M powerhouse!
Manchester United are still interested in a summer deal for Nice Defender Jean-Clair Todibo, Fabrizio Romano has claimed.
The transfer window is just a few days away and this will give the club the chance to get the backing of the board once again and add some fresh players to the squad.
It is no secret that Rafa Varane has now left Manchester United after the decision was made for him to leave for the final few years of his career – meaning the Red Devils have been looking for an immediate replacement for the Frenchman.
And that has led scouts to keep an eye on the performances of Tobibo – who has been attracting alot of Premier League interest over the past few seasons.
And if you believe the words of Romano – Todibo is one of the options that Man United are discussing right now – he said: “For Manchester United, I told you they were working to bring in a new right-footed centre-back for sure, this is one of the priorities for the summer.
“Jean-Claire Todibo is on the list, Branthwaite is on the list and Gleison Bremer is on the list so Manchester United as soon as they clarify the manager position will go for a new right-footed centre-half.
“But Manchester United are also actively working on the possibility to bring in one more centre-back, a left-footed one. It is not guaranteed yet, but this is something they’re considering internally.”
Todibo recently lead Nice to second in the Ligue 1 table and while he did insist he respected the club too much to openly talk about his future, he recently revealed discussions behind the scenes.
He told The Daily Telegraph: “Honestly I don’t want to talk about [my future] because of my respect for the fans here and the club also, but we had a little discussion, for sure.”
Before adding: “My ambition is to play in the best competitions in the world and try to be the best version of me.
