France and Nice defender, Jean-Clair Todibo has come out to share why he turned down the chance to join Manchester United in the summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was always clear that Nice would not sell him this summer, so he just decided to remain calm amid the links to different clubs.
Todibo added that he does not intend to make the wrong transfer choice, so he must be certain of an appropriate destination before moving from France.
His words, “It’s very clear the club [Nice] would not have sold me this summer. I have given it [the links to United] in-depth thought and I remained calm. I didn’t want to make the wrong choice. I expect to be presented with the full picture. What are you expecting from me? Why am I signing? You shouldn’t arrive at a club asking yourself this. I know what I have in Nice, so why leave? Everything must be clear.”
“I’m not going to lie and say that I didn’t have the thought to tell myself that perhaps I should play in a ‘top club’ to increase my chances [of playing for France], but there are also guarantees when playing at Nice. It was an immense joy to wear the blue jersey for the first time, to sing the Marseillaise. I have always said that wearing the French team kit was the Holy Grail for me, so there was a lot of pride and emotion.”
WOW.
