According to a report this week, Liverpool has moved up to the top of the competition to recruit OGC Nice’s highly-rated center-back Jean-Clair Todibo.
With Liverpool reportedly having the “advantage” over their fierce rivals, Manchester United no longer has the upper hand.
This season, Jürgen Klopp has had to deal with a wide range of defense ailments, the most significant of them being Joel Matip’s anterior cruciate ligament injury.
It marks a tragic conclusion to the Cameroonian’s unforgettable tenure at Anfield that he will now spend the remaining years of his Liverpool contract on the treatment table.
According to a French news source connected to Nice-Matin, a Ligue 1 team, Liverpool is the front-runner to recruit Jean-Clair Todibo in the summer.
The energetic 24-year-old player wouldn’t appear out of place at Liverpool and would significantly improve Manchester United’s defense.
But with Klopp spearheading the charge to sign him, the Red Devils might have to watch from a distance.
The center defender is said to find moving to Anfield to be a “very attractive” proposition.
