Inter Milan has set its sights on Jean-Clair Todibo as one of its priorities to strengthen the defense in the upcoming season. The French center-back, who had stints at FC Barcelona and currently plays for West Ham United, is the chosen one by the Italian side to bolster their backline, with the possibility of securing his transfer through a loan with an option to buy.
Todibo, 25 years old, has had a rocky road since departing Barcelona. After shining at OGC Nice, where he regained his form, he made the leap to the Premier League last summer with high expectations. However, his adaptation at West Ham has not met expectations, struggling to secure a spot in the starting eleven, featuring in just 19 matches, of which only 12 were as a starter.
Inter Milan Wants to Sign Todibo
Inter, aware of the need to rejuvenate their defense and trim their wage bill, believes the Frenchman would fit into Simone Inzaghi's system. His profile suits the three-center-back formation favored by the Italian coach and could potentially become a long-term replacement for Francesco Acerbi.
The Nerazzurri will try to capitalize on Todibo's situation in England to negotiate a loan deal with a purchase option. If Todibo rediscovers his top form in Serie A, Inter would have the chance to secure him permanently. Despite past unsuccessful interest from Juventus, Inter aims to get ahead in the upcoming transfer window and finalize the signing of the French defender.
