Staggering £70m triple West Ham deal takes shape as Man Utd talks begin; Juventus try to ruin one move
West Ham United are aiming to strengthen their squad with a number of top signings and have agreed a fee with Nice for defender Jean-Clair Todibo, sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk.
Todibo emerged as a top defensive target for Manchester United earlier this year, and the Red Devils subsequently entered talks over his potential signing. However, Man Utd were prevented from capturing the centre-back due to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s involvement in both clubs.
Man Utd have since turned their attention to Leny Yoro and are aiming to hold off Real Madrid by winning the race for the coveted Frenchman. Todibo, meanwhile, is the subject of a transfer chase between West Ham and Juventus.
TEAMtalk can confirm reports from elsewhere that West Ham have agreed a package with Nice to land Todibo. The deal is understood to be worth around £30million.

However, it is not guaranteed that the 24-year-old will end up at the London Stadium. They remain in the mix for Todibo but are at risk of missing out on him to Juve.
While Juve have not won the Serie A title since the 2019-20 campaign, they are still one of the most illustrious clubs in Europe, and it will therefore be tough for Todibo to turn them down.
