If Leicester's Fofana signs for Chelsea, Todibo could signed as be his replacement

FC Barcelona could receive a welcome financial windfall in the next few hours if Wesley Fofana's transfer from Leicester to Chelsea is confirmed.

Leicester are thinking of Jean-Clair Todibo as the replacement, a former FC Barcelona player who currently plays for Nice.

In the summer transfer window of last season, the Catalan giants transferred Todibo to Nice for 8.5 million euros, reserving 20% of a future sale.

Todibo, who is under contract until June 2026 with Nice, signed for Barca in January 2019 as a market opportunity. However, after five appearances, the centre-back failed to impress and had to seek a future away from the Nou Camp.

The defender was loaned to Schalke 04 in 2020 and then to Benfica (2020-2021). He found success neither in Germany nor in Portugal, finally, Barça transferred him to Nice, where he has broken through and is a starter.
