Juventus would have presented a first offer for Jean-Clair Todibo and FC Barcelona would be very aware of the possible transaction. If it comes to fruition, the Blaugranas would receive a significant income, although a new scenario could complicate this possibility
In the year 2021, the FC Barcelona sold to Jean-Clair Todibo to the Nice, but reserved 20% of a future traspaso. Now, the 'Gazzeta dello Sport' informed that the Juventus put on the table an offer to the French club by the footballer of 24 years. In this context, the Barcelona group chaired by Joan Laporta would be very pending of the transaction, since the operation could suppose an important entry for the accounts of the Catalan institution.
The 'Vecchia Signora' would have proposed to the team of the Côte d'Azur, an onerous cession with right of purchase established in 35 million euros. However, the offer still would not have convinced to the owners of the defence, since they ask 36 million euros. It fits to stand out that the French want that it was a cession with obligation of purchase, something that the interested have refused during the first conversations.
The Barça already lost another opportunity
Before the offer of the Juventus, the Manchester United made an offer by Jean-Clair Todibo. Very interested, the English wanted to reach the traspaso by means of a negotiation of some 40 million euros. In that then, the FC Barcelona was attentive because only it was question of time carry 20%. However, the agreement did not produce due to the fact that the group INEOS is the owner so much of the Nice as of the 'red devils'.
The rule of the UEFA establishes that two clubs that belong to the same property can not participate in the same European competition. Both entities had achieved to classify for the Europe League and the possibility of an agreement was not viable of agreement to the norms established. Likewise, it finds forbidden the traspaso of players between teams of the same property. In any case, now the Barça could remain again without his longed for 20% because of the fault of agreement of the Nice with the Juventus.
