The price tag of OGC Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo has been revealed.
Todibo would cost Manchester United £51.6m, according to CaughtOffside.
Erik ten Hag is expected to dip into the transfer market for a new defender this year and it remains to be seen if Raphael Varane will agree a renewed deal ahead of his current deal expiring this summer.
One name that has been linked as a potential replacement for Varane is France international Todibo, who has been a key player for OGC Nice, whom Sir Jim Ratcliffe owns.
This means there is potential for smooth negotiations between the two clubs, although it will come down to Todibo’s decision in the end because he will have no shortage of options if he leaves France in the summer.
An array of reports have linked Todibo with Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea so there could be a handful of Premier League clubs knocking on his door at the end of the season.
United are said to have a list of alternatives if a pursuit fails.
Let us know if you think United should move on Varane in the summer or give him a new deal.
