Fabrizio Romano via caught Offside does not know of any concrete interest in Jean-Clair Todibo ahead of January amid Chelsea and Arsenal links. The Italian journalist thinks any move will happen in the summer based on his information now, but also points towards Manchester United’s interest in the OGC Nice defender.
Jean-Clair Todibo has been an essential player for OGC Nice and will continue to perform for the club until he moves away to take on another challenge. He was reportedly open to it last summer, with Manchester United, one of the sides, keenly taking notes on his situation.
With Didier Deschamps taking the defender seriously and selecting him regularly in his squad, Todibo would want to play for an important club. Some reports have pointed towards Arsenal and Chelsea’s interest in the defender, with the 23-year-old Manchester United target likely to move out of Nice in future windows.

Jean-Clair Todibo has been an essential player for OGC Nice and will continue to perform for the club until he moves away to take on another challenge. He was reportedly open to it last summer, with Manchester United, one of the sides, keenly taking notes on his situation.
With Didier Deschamps taking the defender seriously and selecting him regularly in his squad, Todibo would want to play for an important club. Some reports have pointed towards Arsenal and Chelsea’s interest in the defender, with the 23-year-old Manchester United target likely to move out of Nice in future windows.
With the January window fast approaching, there have been rumblings that Nice could accept a €40 million offer to sell the defender. As the defender continues to perform admirably for the French side, there are chances of a sale in the next window, mainly if interested clubs offer the desired money.
Fabrizio Romano has now rubbished Chelsea and Arsenal links, claiming he’s unaware of any concrete talks with any club over a move in January. He also pointed at Manchester United’s interest as a strong one at this stage but insisted the 23-year-old will likely move only next summer.
Romano said, “Manchester United were interested in Todibo already last summer as I reported, he’s being scouted since long time,”
“I’m not aware of anything concrete now with other clubs, despite some outlets also linking him with Chelsea and Arsenal. It’s something to watch next summer for sure but now is way too early to predict what will happen with him.”
Manchester United have been tracking Todibo for quite some time, as Erik ten Hag wanted a new defender in the summer. The requirement remains ahead of the January window, although there are doubts whether they can bring in the funds to sign him.
They have other requirements, like a strong midfielder, and signing for both of those positions could prove impossible from a financial standpoint. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea may hold some interest in Rodibo, but they have substantial depth in the central defensive areas.
