Tottenham hopes to sign €40m Manchester United target

Jean-Clair Todibo has recently confirmed that he engaged in discussions with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United regarding a potential transfer.

While he refrained from disclosing the specifics of these talks, it is evident that both Premier League clubs expressed interest in acquiring the French defender.

Todibo's name was prominently linked with a move to Tottenham during the January transfer window, but a deal failed to materialize, with the club opting to sign Radu Dragusin from Genoa instead.

Reports indicated that Nice, Todibo's current club, initially set a hefty €60 million price tag to deter Spurs' interest. However, recent developments suggest that Nice is now willing to entertain offers at a reduced fee of €40 million, reigniting Tottenham's pursuit of the 24-year-old.
