According to a new report from renowned Sky Sports Germany journalist Plettenberg, significant progress has been made in the transfer of Nice defender Todibo. The journalist revealed that Todibo has successfully completed his medical examination, which paves the way for his imminent signing with West Ham United. It is reported that the two sides will officially sign the contract, which will be extended until 2030, on the evening of August 9 local time.
The transfer will take place in a special form: Todibo will first join West Ham United on a one-year loan. However, this loan contract also contains an important compulsory purchase clause, whereby West Ham United will have to pay a fee (rumored to be €40 million) to buy out Todibo's contract at the end of the loan period, thus ensuring that he will be able to play for the team in the long term.
Before the medical examination, West Ham United has already reached an agreement with Nice on the transfer of Todibo. The transfer not only reflects West Ham United's recognition of Todibo's individual ability, but also reflects the team's determination to strengthen the back line. As a young and talented defender, Todibo will undoubtedly inject new vitality into West Ham United's defense.
In addition, according to previous sources, Nice will also receive a share in Todibo's second transfer. The inclusion of this clause protects Nice's interests in the transfer and also reflects the friendly partnership between the two clubs.
