The mid November international break is certainly the perfect time to talk some transfer rumors, as the January window will be here before you know it. Today we focus on Liverpool FC, who are reportedly in the hunt to acquire Toulouse centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo.
The 18-year-old Frenchman has caught the eye of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Juventus reportedly set to rival the Reds as front-runners in the race to acquire his signature. However, there will be plenty of competition, from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Lyon, Wolverhampton Wanderers and RB Leipzig. This is according to Tuttosport (h/t Sport Witness).
La Depeche claim that Anfield could make a move for Todibo in the January transfer window, capitalizing off of the fact that he still hasn’t signed the contract offer made by his current club, a deal that would be the first ever professional contract for the youngster.
The situation could make him available at a cut rate, given how Toulouse are well aware that they run the risk of losing him for nothing on a free in the summer transfer window. Either way, whether he stays put or moves on to a bigger club, the future looks really bright for the defender. Go here for the story on Liverpool’s interest in Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
