Barca News
Joan Laporta is , right now, pulling out her hair. While it is true that he has been able to build a team with a face and eyes, in fact it is a great squad, taking into account the economic problems he is facing since his arrival at the presidency of FC Barcelona, he has also made a mistake There are many footballers who have passed through the Camp Nou without regret or glory and who have left the club without much luck, situations which over time have ended up proving Barça right with some of these footballers far from the elite.
However, there are also several who have packed their bags and traveled far from the County town to continue their careers in professional football, proving Laporta wrong. And there is a clear example in France. Upon his arrival, President Culer decided to give way to a new generation of central players such as Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo, and sending men who no longer served as Samuel Umtiti to other clubs. In the case of Umtiti, the success has been total, but there is a footballer who is already international with France, sharing a dressing room with stars of the stature of Mbappé , Dembélé and Griezmann .
Todibo proves Laporta that he was wrong
The case of Jean-Clair Todibo is one of those worthy of study. The Frenchman’s career has taken an unexpected 180-degree turn, when he left the Camp Nou after spending almost no minutes. As we said, in his desire to renew the club and give it fresh air, Laporta did not hesitate to knock on the door to let in new faces.
President Culer did not want to give the French central defender a chance, despite having arrived with the ring of being one of the great defenders of the future, with a great career ahead of him. With FC Barcelona pressed by financial and sporting needs, the Blaugrana had no time to wait for promises and needed realities .
At least, under this excuse, they explained the sale of a Todibo who in the 4 times he played with FC Barcelona did not finish convincing, and it is that they kicked him out because they did not trust him. To cover his loss, a Kounde arrived who could now see his position in France’s starting 11 at the next Euro 2024 compromised.
Todibo aims to start at Euro 2024
Todibo is proving to Joan Laporta the mistake he made with him and is giving his players far above the expectations generated. He is one of the fittest central players in all of Europe and has already attracted the interest of the big clubs of the Old Continent, to make the jump to a club that will allow him to fight for more goals.
Nice are delighted with the performance of the centre-back, but they are aware that a juicy offer could come for him that forces them to sell him . And according to Don Balón , Manchester United is willing to pay 40 million euros to turn him into a new Red Devil in the face of Ten Hag’s problems with his defense.
At the age of 23, the Frenchman would take a fundamental step in his career, which would further open the doors to a possible tenure with the Bleu selection . In fact, he is already a fixture in the call-ups for Didier Deschamps and is being nominated as one of the starters alongside Ibrahima Konaté.
