One deal leads to another. The Lady is eyeing the French Riviera for her summer shopping. After Khepren Thuram, Jean-Clair Todibo is in the crosshairs. Juventus, working on the details of their son (visits and signing during the week), have reactivated contacts with their partner in the last few days. The return of the flame for the 24-year-old defender is no accident, but it is a restart of sorts following the departure of Riccardo Calafiori, who is targeting Arsenal. At Continassa, after careful evaluations, they dived again on the former Barcelona cruiser. And now Todibo has more than an idea for the Bianconeri.

New talks

Juventus have moved from surveys to more definitive investigations. Relations with Nice are good, but the Rossoneri club has no intention of making discounts for Todibo. We start with a request for 40 million, the same thing that Manchester United put on the table in recent weeks. The deal was closed and then blocked by UEFA for regulatory reasons. Nice and United (Ineos) share the same ownership and next season they will both be mainstays in the Europa League. Transfers: family operations prohibited. Todibo had to backtrack, but he hasn’t changed his plan: he wants to try a new experience. Manchester United faded, West Ham came under. But now the Frenchman has put Juventus at the top of his mind. It is no coincidence that the Hammers bought Max Kilman. One less competitor for Giuntoli who, at the moment, would like to get to Todibo through a loan with the right / obligation to buy. Time and the approval of the French play in Juventus’ favor. If Nice does not open a creative solution, the Bianconeri will have to wait for several transfers before they can sink. Starting with Dean Huijsen, worth 25 million and always on the radar of Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern.

Juventus priority

In the transfer market, everything can change quickly and Todibo experienced this firsthand at the end of June, when he already thought he was a Red Devils player. It is not taken into account that the Frenchman will stay at Juventus indefinitely (plan B is still Kiwior Arsenal), but at the moment the former Barcelona player wants to prioritize the Bianconeri as well because he is interested in Serie A .Good news for the Lady , who initially aims to sell and complete the restructuring of the midfield by adding Koopmeiners (Atalanta) to Thuram Jr and Douglas Luiz.
