Barcelona have reached an agreement with the French player Jean-Clair Todibo for him to join the Club from 1 July 2019.
The player’s contract with Toulouse FC ends on 30 June this year and so he will join on a free transfer.
Jean-Clair Todibo was born in Cayenne, the capital of French Guyana in South America, on 30 December 1999. The Frenchman played for the FC Les Lilas club at the youth level before joining Toulouse FC in 2016. He made his first team debut at the beginning of the 2018/19 season at the age of just 18 against Girondins Bordeaux in the second game of the Ligue 1 campaign. In total has made 10 appearances for the French club this season, all of them in the starting XI.
Despite operating as a centre back, the youngster has already scored his first goal as a professional. On 30 September he scored a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw away at Rennes. At the international level he has represented France on two occasions at the U-20 level.
Youth and potential for the Barça defence
Todibo is a tall, right-footed defender who can play at centre back and also in the centre of the midfield. At the youth level he often featured in the middle of the field given his ability on the ball.
One of his best qualities is his physical presence and his ability in the air. At just 19 years of age, the young talent comes to FC Barcelona as one of the most promising players in European Football in his position.

what the board of Barcelona sees is difficult for others to see. there is the problem of having an aging team, not necessarily an ordinary team but one that has won everything there is to be won. it has become necessary to plan for the immediate future. this is where Barca is getting it right, rebuilding the team. yes La Masia is suffering but it is understandable. you cannot lift la masia into the first team. there will be promotions from there but definitely outsiders must come in to fill up areas of lack. I give kudos to a thinking management.

great one. I am so happy that the club is making signings for the back position. at the back, Barcelona are lagging behind and once we can get a better back 4,then they will be indomitable.

when Barcelona sign any new player you will see Madrid fans saying he is going to be a benchwarmer but they have forgotten that they have also signed many players who have become a benchwarmer even just yesterday they have sign another benchwarmer which is Diaz they will not talk about that but rather thinking about Barcelona if you people don't stop thinking about Barcelona and think about your team by the time you realise uou are playing Europa league next season with United and Arsenal. ...

Todibo is a great deal , at 18, marshalled Toulouse's backline with authority. He's great on the ball, and he combines anticipation with sturdy positioning. . I haven't seen him play but in the individual skills videos on YouTube, he is tall and good in the air, strong tackler and decent passer of the ball. Many tell his is the next varane. seems like a very promising talent🔴💯👏🙅 Barça have committed daylight robbery to sign him on a free. they are getting a gem in the making. Welcome to the greatest club on the 🌏, Todibo!
