On the evening of July 27, Ligue 1 side Nice played a pre-season match against Rizespor, but center-back Todibo was not included in the squad for the game.
According to Italian media reports, the 24-year-old Todibo is close to joining Serie A giants Juventus. On the day of the match, the player’s agent held a new round of talks with Juventus sporting director Giovanni Manna, which is also the reason for his absence from the matchday squad.
Previous reports suggested that West Ham United were also interested in signing Todibo this summer, but it seems those negotiations have stalled as the player and his representatives believe a move to Juventus is more appealing.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus may have to pay Nice around €37 million to sign Todibo.
