In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Juventus may miss out on signing Jean-Clair Todibo, as West Ham United have surged ahead in the race for the defender.
Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer market expert, reported that West Ham’s Director of Football, Tim Steidten, is currently travelling to Nice to finalise the deal.
“West Ham have reached an agreement with Nice for Todibo,” Romano revealed on his official Twitter account.
Sources within the Nice club have suggested that Todibo is likely to undergo medical examinations soon, a clear indication that the transfer is edging ever closer to completion.
This revelation will come as a significant blow to Juventus, who have been heavily linked with the French centre-back throughout the summer transfer window.
For now, it appears that the Bianconeri will need to look elsewhere to fortify their defensive line as Todibo edges closer to becoming a Hammer.
Fans of both clubs will be eagerly awaiting further updates as the transfer window nears its end.
