While his future at FC Barcelona is most uncertain, Jean-Clair Todibo is indeed on the shelves of a prestigious Bundesliga team.
Arrived at FC Barcelona in winter 2019, Jean-Clair Todibo was loaned during the last winter transfer window to Schalke 04 faced with the short playing time he had on the side of the Camp Nou. The 20-year-old Frenchman took advantage of his loan in Bundesliga to revive by achieving solid performances. Only here, although the German team would like to be able to keep it next season, it would not be able to execute its purchase right set at 25M € to definitively recruit it because of the economic impact of the pandemic COVID-19. The former player of Toulouse should therefore return to Barça at the end of the season, and its future is written in dotted lines in Catalonia. Several teams would have been seduced by its good performance with Schalke 04 and would be willing to bet on him if Quique Setién makes the decision not to keep it. So like le10sport.com you announced it this sunday, Jean-Clair Todibo is in the viewfinder of the RB Leipzig. The stable founded by Red Bull in 2009 follows the French closely, although no contact has yet taken place with the player’s clan, for which the Barça would hope to recover 30M € if he leaves.
RB Leipzig is very interested in Jean-Clair Todibo!
And this trend now seems to be confirmed on the side of Catalonia. Indeed, the Spanish media SPORT confirm that Jean-Clair Todibo is well in the viewfinder of the RB Leipzig, which is the last club to enter the race for the signing of the former Toulouse. The club Bundesliga would have been alerted by the will of the FC Barcelona to sell some of its good elements this summer in order to carry out its recruitment projects, in particular the transfer of Lautaro Martinez coming fromInter. This would have pushed the residents of the Red Bull Arena to take a close interest in Jean-Clair Todibo, which could replace Dayot Upamecano or Ibrahima Konaté, the two players being on the start. Furthermore, the Catalan media also confirms our information that the FC Barcelona is willing to part with its promising central defender for € 30 million. Case to follow…
