RATCLIFFE brings TODIBO to Manchester United using INEOS connectivity.
Manchester United are reportedly getting closer to signing Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo after reporting in France that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s links between the two clubs are helping smooth the transfer process.
The former Barcelona man has established himself as an absolute defensive rock with the Ligue 1 title chasers, earning a place in the highly competitive French backline and becoming a coveted star in the process.
of course, Manchester United We’ve been chasing his signature and holding talks for months. Todibo His representatives on a possible summer transition.
At the time, manager Erik ten Hag believed his transfer hopes were over after the club failed to sign Harry Maguire, who has bounced back to become a regular once again, summing up the chaos at Old Trafford this season.
But United’s interest in signing Todibo has not waned and has in fact strengthened in recent months as the 24-year-old has been in truly commanding form.
And with Tottenham, Chelsea and AC Milan also hot on his heels, Nice have responded to the speculation by charging a whopping €60m (£51.7m) for him.
But fortunately for United, the presence of INEOS as Nice owner and soon-to-be-confirmed United minority shareholder means they always have a transfer advantage.
And according to RMC Sport, United are now very likely to seal a deal this month.
Todibo is a ‘realistic option’ to become INEOS’ first Man Utd signing.
The France international is now a ‘real choice’ for a move this month, according to the report, despite Milan also making a very firm inquiry.
Their interest comes amid claims that defender Fikayo Tomori is being offered a big-money deal by Bayern Munich. The Rossoneri used the cash they made from the sale of the former Chelsea man to fund their bid for Todibo.
But Ratcliffe will not let one of his key goals slip through the net and the English businessman is ready to capitalize on the very obvious links between the clubs to bring the player to Old Trafford.
According to reports, Manchester United and Nice are expected to agree a fee of around 45 million euros (£38.8 million) for the central defender.
Nice has decided to retain Todibo’s services until the summer and is fighting to resist a deal in January.
However, United want the deal to be completed for now and it remains a question of when or if Todibo will make the move, with the 6ft 3in centre-back poised to become the first new arrival of the INEOS era at Old Trafford. It seems like it’s still there.
