West Ham United have made significant progress in their pursuit of Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo. Reports from Ilbianconero detail contacts between Nice and West Ham regarding the talented French center-back. The two clubs have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement for Todibo’s transfer, but the player himself is hesitant to finalize the deal.
The reason for Todibo’s reluctance appears to be rooted in his interest in a potential move to Juventus. The Italian giants had previously approached Nice with a loan offer that included an obligation to buy, but this proposal was promptly rejected by the French club. However, Todibo’s preference for Juventus could prove to be a crucial factor in the negotiations.
Despite West Ham’s efforts to secure the defender’s signature, Todibo seems keen on waiting for Juventus to make their move. The Turin-based club’s interest in the player remains strong, but their ability to complete the transfer hinges on their success in offloading a couple of players in the near future.
