Deal Close! Agent Talks Up Transfer For Liverpool Target
The agent of highly rated French defender Jean-Clair Todibo has talked about the desire of his client to move away from Toulouse ahead of the January transfer window.
Todibo has emerged as a key player for the French Ligue 1 outfit in the new campaign and that has led to strong interests from the best of the best European sides.
Addressing those transfer rumours in an interview with popular Italian news outlet Tuttosport, his agent Bruno Satin revealed that Todibo is ready to play regularly at a higher level.
Previous media reports claimed that as much as 40 clubs are ready to sign him when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
European giants like Liverpool and Juventus have been strongly touted as possible transfer destinations for the 18-year-old.
The young French centre-back broke into the Toulouse first team in the wake of the exit of ex-club skipper Issa Diop.
Diop became a Premier League player in the summer after the 21-year-old centre-back signed for West Ham United in a deal reported to be around £20m.
Jean-Clair Todibo has less than a year left on his contract at Toulouse and he could move for between €3m-€4m according to Tuttosport.
The aforementioned amount would serve as compensation fee for Toulouse for the transfer of Todibo who’s yet to sign a professional contract at the club.
