Manchester United could finally sign Jean-Clair Todibo in the coming January transfer window, according to a fresh report.

Todibo emerged as Erik ten Hag's primary defensive target when it appeared Harry Maguire would be sold West Ham this summer.

However, at the time Todibo’s preference was to stay at Nice, where he was guaranteed game time.

Speaking to L’Equipe the France international said: “It’s very clear the club would not have sold me this summer. I have given it in-depth thought and I remained calm. I didn’t want to make the wrong choice.”

He added: “I expect to be presented with the full picture. What are you expecting from me? Why am I signing? You shouldn’t arrive at a club asking yourself this. I know what I have in Nice, so why leave? Everything must be clear.”

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed United are keen to reignite their interest in Todibo next year.

Indeed, opportunities at Old Trafford may be easier to come by, with Lisandro Martinez set to undergo surgery on his injured foot.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “The crucial factor for Manchester United in 2024 is going to be the centre-back.

“From what I am hearing, Manchester United, in internal discussions, are thinking of the future transfer windows – mainly the summer – are discussing the possibility of bringing in one more important centre-back.

“Over the summer they thought of two players in particular: Benjamin Pavard was one of the targets but he joined Inter. And Jean-Clair Todibo, the Nice centre-back who is having a very good season.”
