OGC Nice – Mercato: after Inter Milan, a Premier League club is eyeing Todibo

When you achieve performances as impressive as those of Jean-Clair Todibo for more than a year, you inevitably attract the attention of bigger clubs than OGC Nice. This summer, there was talk of the 22-year-old central defender on the Inter Milan side, in the event that PSG managed to recruit Milan Skriniar. But the club of the capital having not paid so far the 70 M€ expected, the Slovak left to stay in Lombardy. But this will not necessarily be the case for Todibo in Nice.

Indeed, Foot Mercato ensures that Leicester would have checked its name on its shelves in order to compensate for the departure of Wesley Fofana at Chelsea. The former Stéphanois became the most expensive defender in history after the Blues paid more than €80m to the Foxes to secure his services. The latter therefore have a nice windfall to reinvest in the market to find a replacement. Under contract until 2026, Jean-Clair Todibo would wait for a gesture from the management of Nice (understand: an increase) to stay.
