Barca News
Many players have left Barcelona in recent years, some of whom achieved success and some who were not lucky to achieve it, and others found the door to shine after leaving the Catalan team, and one of them wants to return now.
Barcelona is still going through a construction phase, despite the many deals it concluded last season. Deco and Laporta continue to plan to strengthen the team next season, preparing a list of deals nominated to join as well as a list of candidates to leave.
Non-playing players will leave, as will high-paid players to free up money to sign new deals.
In any case, there is a former Barcelona player who openly announced his desire to return after becoming the best defender in his country’s local league. We are talking about Jean-Clair Todibo.
Since Todibo left Barcelona, he has worn the shirts of Schalke 04, Benfica and Nice. In this latest team, where he is now in his fourth season, he is performing at a high level and has become one of the best defenders in Ligue 1. This is what made him appear on the radar of some major European clubs.
In the short time he spent in Barcelona, he did not enjoy much fame, which he has achieved now in Nice. His regularity in playing may lead to him being called up to the French national team to participate in the next Euro Championship. A bet on staying in the French league despite other offers, which is going well.
This weekend, Nice drew 0-0 against Clermont Foot. After the match, Canal Plus asked the defender about the possibility of returning to the Barcelona team, and he replied: “Returning to Barcelona?” why not?”. . Todibo has a contract until 2027, but has already begun to consolidate a potential return to the entity headed by Joan Laporta.
Although Todibo arrived at Barcelona at a very young age and did not enjoy the fame he expected, he does not remember it being a bad period as he stressed: “I do not regret it at all. Barcelona is still a very wonderful experience. I learned a lot from Pique, Umtiti, Lenglet… and played at the highest level. “I didn’t have the required minutes because there were big players in front of me.”
