Manchester United eyes Jean Clair Todibo as potential replacement for Maguire’s departure.

According to credible journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is showing interest in Jean-Clair Todibo, the talented defender from Nice. With a remarkable season under his belt, Todibo has caught the attention of several top European clubs. Juventus has already made contact with Nice, and now it seems that Manchester United is also eyeing the 23-year-old defender.

Romano reveals that Manchester United is actively in touch with Todibo’s representatives, indicating that the club sees him as a potential replacement if Harry Maguire departs during the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, it won’t be easy for any club to acquire Todibo’s services as Nice has set a hefty price tag of €30 million for the French centre-back. This has caused Juventus to take a step back and reassess the situation.

Last season, Todibo played a crucial role for coach Francesco Farioli’s team, featuring in 46 official matches, with 45 of those appearances as a starter.
