West Ham United believe Jean-Clair Todibo transfer is still on cards after bid update
West Ham believe they can conclude a deal to sign Jean-Clair Todibo this summer despite having a bid rejected by OCG Nice, The Athletic reports.
According to the outlet’s website on 3 July the Hammers offered €30million [£25.4m] for the French defender but were turned down this week.
But with the 24-year-old having emerged as a “prime transfer target” at the London Stadium the club still feel they can land him, since Nice are ready to “cash in” on him during the current window.
The Ligue 1 side are owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS, now minority owners at Manchester United, with the British billionaire indicating the Old Trafford side have been unable to buy Todibo due to UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules.
So far Luis Guilherme and Wes Foderingham have arrived on permanent deals.
