It does some weeks, at the beginning of January, the FC Barcelona announced the signing of Jean-Clair Todibo, a central defence of 19 years that plays in the Toulouse. The French finish agreement the next month of June and the Barcelona club, faster that any another, ensured his signing to cost zero also to half year seen of the next course.
Nevertheless, the Toulouse has not taken at all well that his footballer have decided not renewing his agreement and leave free, by what has separated him of the team. In the FC Barcelona does not convince this situation, since they do not want that his new defensive reinforcement was stopped during the next five months, by what are treating to convince to the French team so that him traspase to the drop this same January.
Todibo Is a project of big footballer in the future. To his short age, only has contested 10 parties with the first team of the Toulouse, but were sufficient to leave clear his potential of face to the future, arriving even to première like goleador. When playing like head office, his arrival to the Camp Nou would cause a 'overbooking in said position.
Nevertheless, with the signing of Todibo the FC Barcelona saves an important weapon, that is his polivalencia. HTo shined playing like head office in Tie it 1, but his natural position is the one of mediocentro defensive. His good deal of balloon and his physicist give him an extra like central defence, but formed like mediocentro, one of the positions in which Ernesto Valverde does not walk sobrado.
The agent of Todibo sees him like midfield player
Therefore, his arrival could suppose a reinforcement no only for the axis of the defence -where already are Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Thomas Vermaelen and Jeison Murillo- but also for the mediocentro, where only is Sergio Busquets, like pure pivote. The Txingurri, of this form, could have to an important joker.
In fact, until Bruno Satin, agent of the player, thinks that will finish playing in the medullary. "It remembers me a lot to Desailly because in the future also will be able to play in the midfield. Desailly Was a monster physically, Todibo is more athletic, more dynamic. I am safe that it will begin like defender, but in the future will play to a big level like mediocampista", said.
