Barcelona could earn €8 million through former defender’s move to Juventus

Barcelona stand a chance to earn up to €8 million from the sale of their former player, Jean-Clair Todibo, as Mundo Deportivo has reported that Juventus are highly interested in the defender, with Nice setting a minimum asking price of €40 million for Todibo.

Over the past year, many teams have shown interest in Todibo, including Arsenal, but no concrete offers have emerged. This summer, however, things are looking promising for Barcelona. 

This is because reports from Italy suggest Todibo is keen on joining Juventus and has urged his close circle to wait for the Italian team to make their move. 

Barcelona, on their part, are aware that if the sale goes through, they stand to gain a significant portion of the transfer fee, approximately €8 million.

This is because, in 2021, Barcelona sold Todibo to Nice and included a clause in the contract ensuring that they would receive 20% of any future sale.

Now, with Nice asking for €40 million, Barcelona could see a considerable financial boost. 

Juventus are evaluating their options

It is said that Juventus are currently evaluating the situation. While they can afford the €40 million price tag, they are hoping Nice will lower their demands to make the deal more appealing.

Despite the high price, Juventus remain very interested in Todibo as they are in need of defensive reinforcements and Todibo’s profile matches their requirements.

Interestingly, Todibo is an appealing option for several reasons. For one, he is known for his speed, height, and aggressive playing style. 

He excels at winning the ball and is not afraid to push forward into the opponent’s half to challenge rivals. His aerial ability also adds to his value, making him a well-rounded defender.

Barcelona’s potential earnings from this deal highlight the importance of including sell-on clauses in player contracts. 

Such clauses ensure that clubs benefit from future transfers, providing an additional revenue stream. For Barcelona, this could be particularly useful given their financial situation.
