Aston Villa have reportedly entered the race to OGC Nice defender, Jean-Clair Todibo in the summer transfer window.
A lot of teams, including Manchester United, Tottenham, Napoli, and Atletico Madrid, are said to be interested in the 24-year-old. To fend off potential suitors, Nice demanded a hefty €60 million fee for Todibo back in January.
However, L’Equipe as cited by Birmingham Live, asserts that Villa are considering a move for Todibo, suggests that Nice might accept a €25 million offer this summer. After a brief loan from Barcelona in the second half of 2020–2021 season, the France international signed a permanent deal with Nice in the summer of 2021.
The links to Todibo occur while one of Villa’s highest paid players, Diego Carlos is said to be put up for sale.
Under Steven Gerrard, Carlos joined Villa in the summer of 2022. During his first Premier League season, he sustained a serious Achilles injury. Last season, he made 38 appearances for the Villans in all competitions, including 27 in the league.

Villa are under pressure from Profit and Sustainability Rules, so they have to sell before they buy this summer. Emery may lose one of his most important players before the end of the month, according to certain reports.
Douglas Luiz is a player that Juventus are very interested in signing this summer. The Serie A strongholds want to sign the Brazilian. But as of now, no fee has been agreed upon.
