Juventus closer to another signing? Ex-Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo left out of Nice squad amid talks with Serie A side - even though West Ham made a better offer

Todibo has been excluded for Nice's friendly against Italian side Lecce as the Ligue 1 side still continue to negotiate with Juventus over a sale for the 24-year-old. Todibo was also left out of the squad for Nice's previous friendlies, limiting his opportunities to get match fit for the upcoming season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Nice are holding out for a fee in excess of €35 million (£30m/$38m), an amount which <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/west-ham-unlikely-to-complete-transfer-man-utd-target-jean-clair-todibo-agreement-nice-juventus-lurk/blt2573100297708960" target="_self">West Ham had previously offered</a>, but Todibo rejected the chance of a move. Juventus have offered a similar fee, however they would like the deal to be a loan with an option to buy, or with an obligation based on certain conditions –&nbsp;something which Nice are relucant to agree to, <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2024/08/03/juventus-todibo-calciomercato-news" target="_blank">Sky</a> reports.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barcelona still retain a 20 per cent sell-on clause over any fee that Nice receive for Todibo, which is partially why the French side have been so strict with their demands. Manchester United were also interested in signing Todibo this summer<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-unlikely-complete-nice-centre-back-jean-clair-todibo-explained/blt564ca9521d6acd14" target="_self"> before UEFA prevented a transfer</a> from happening. West Ham still remain interested in a move, but Todibo is thought to only want a move to Juventus.

DID YOU KNOW?

With Nice and Juventus no closer to resolving the differences in their valuations for Todibo, the centre-back faces an uncertain future in the final month of the transfer window. There are still three years remaining on his deal, meaning Nice are not under pressure to sell.
