According to Telefoot, Nice has decided that Tottenham target Jean-Clair Todibo will only be sold for a club record sum.
Todibo was generally rumoured to be Tottenham’s top centre-back target for the current window at the start of the month, but Ange Postecoglou’s side switched their focus to Radu Dragusin after Nice stalled the negotiations (TEAMtalk).
Several French outlets have suggested in recent weeks that the North London club may re-sign the 24-year-old centre-back next summer.
Jean-Clair Todibo won’t leave this month.
Telefoot has mentioned Tottenham as one of three clubs tracking the France international, claiming that the Lilywhites, Chelsea, and Napoli have all spoken with the player’s entourage.
According to the publication, the Ligue 1 club has determined that they ‘definitely want to keep him’ until the conclusion of the season.
According to the source, given Todibo’s recent performance, Nice are now convinced that they can get a club record sum for the centre-back.
Some sources such as Nice-Martin had recently put the French club’s valuation of the Tottenham target at €60m (£51.4m).
Spurs Web Opinion
With Postecoglou now having three top-tier centre-backs at his disposal, I’d be shocked if Tottenham were willing to invest £50 million on another central defender next summer.
I predict Tottenham will buy a young centre-back with potential rather than an established performer in one of Europe’s top five leagues. There is also the chance of Ashley Phillips or Alfie Dorrington being promoted if Ange believes they are prepared.
