There are signings that are successful because of how much they give their club on the field and others that can be very positive because of the economic performance they generate. One of the latter is that of Jean Clair Todibo. The former FC Barcelona defender, who now shines for Nice, is in the sights of the big Premier League teams who, during this winter market, are seriously considering the possibility of signing the 24 this year old defender. The best news for the Barça club is that long after leaving the Barça team it can still generate an economic benefit. There is talk these days that many Premier League teams already want him and that shared interest is a winning card for clubs who have some rights to him. High numbers are circulating, even 60 million euros for his signing. Considering that Barça keeps 20% of the value of a hypothetical sale of Todibo, which means that the club would receive 12 million.
Todibo has barely played five games for Barça, but considered a mere economic operation, his inclusion is sure to pay off, whether or not he moves to England. He signed for Barça from Toulouse in January 2019 for one million euros. In June 2021, Barça decided to complete the sale of Todibo to French Nice, who agreed to pay 8.5 million euros and another 7 in variables. Todibo’s football development has even led him to full international status in France and now the interest of clubs with great purchasing power such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham could be an injection if they will scratch their pockets, we’ll see how much. Todibo spearheaded the defense of the second-placed team in Ligue 1, barely conceding 9 goals in 17 games.
If Todibo were to join the Premier League for a juicy sum, the business for Barça would be comparable to what the ephemeral incorporation as a culé of Colombian central defender Yerry Mina, who arrived at the Camp Nou in January 2018, would mean. , from Palmeiras in exchange for 11.8 million euros and in August of the same year he was sold to Everton for 30.2 million fixed and 1.5 million in variables.
