AC Milan have come forward to sign Jean-Clair Todibo according to Italian media, making an eight million euro offer for the French defender, giving Barcelona a buy-back fee. The Catalans are asking for 12 million, so there is not a big difference. His exit could happen in the winter window.

Last Friday Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes met Paolo Maldini in Milan to speak about the player. The Barca directors made it clear that the operation must be a sale with a buy-back option. The Italians did not mind that.

Bayer Leverkusen are another interested side but they do not like the buy-back. Todibo, 20, arrived at Barcelona inn 2019 for two million euros and basically has not featured for the club at all, bar the odd appearance. Ronald Araujo from the B team seems to have convinced Valverde more.
