“This is potentially my last match” at the Allianz Riviera: on the eve of the announcement of the list of those selected for Euro-2024 of which he hopes to be part, Niçois Jean-Clair Todibo should turn a page in his career on Wednesday against Paris SG in a late match of the 32nd day.
Great hope trained in Toulouse, transferred to Barcelona at the age of 19, he never managed to establish himself in the Catalan club nor at Schalke 04 or Benfica, where he was successively loaned, before arriving in Nice in winter 2021, still on loan with option to purchase, validated this time by the leaders of the Riviera club.
Now aged 24, after 134 matches played for Nice in three and a half years, he finally feels capable of the big departure. Present at a press conference, Todibo is already planning. “I want to win titles in a club that would allow me to progress individually,” he announces, saying he is “very open” about the identity of his future championship.
On the other hand, the French international (2 selections, last fall) intends to return more often to Blue. And he sees his competitors, in the defense axis, playing in the largest continental armadas.
“Leaving for a bigger club is in my head,” he insists. “In any case, playing in these clubs also allows you to play in the best European competition. It’s a reality (…). You are looked at more. This can provide more guarantees for the French team.”
