According to a new report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, West Ham United Football Club are in the running for Nice center-back Todibo. West Ham FC's technical director Tim Steaden is currently in Nice himself for talks with Todibo and has already reached a verbal agreement with the 24-year-old center-back.
West Ham United are aiming to complete the signing of Todibo ahead of Juventus. Juventus, the Serie A giants, have also shown great interest in Todibo and have been actively pursuing him. However, West Ham United's swift action and efficient negotiation has given them a head start in this transfer battle.
West Ham United have reportedly made an attractive offer for Todibo, including a loan plus a mandatory buyout clause and a share of a future second transfer. The total value of this offer is up to 40 million euros, showing that West Ham United attaches great importance to Todibo and the determination to introduce him.
According to the plan, West Ham United will arrange for Todibo to fly to London for a medical immediately after reaching a formal verbal agreement with him today. Once the medical is passed, the transfer deal will be officially completed and Todibo will officially become a member of West Ham United.
Todibo, as a young and promising center back with excellent physical quality and defensive ability, is regarded as a potential star in the future football world. His joining will undoubtedly add new vitality to West Ham United's backline and enhance the team's overall strength.
However, Juventus, for their part, have not given up on their pursuit of Todibo. They are still trying to secure an agreement with Nice in a bid to intercept Todibo at the last minute. The outcome of this transfer battle is still in doubt, but West Ham United are clearly in a more favorable position at the moment.
