Benfica want French center back from Barcelona

Benfica have added their name along with other European clubs who have interest in Barcelona's U20 French international Jean-Clair Todibo. Barcelona acquired Todibo from Toulouse in the winter of 2019 and loaned the center back to German side Schalke this past January were he appeared in 13 games across all competitions. Schalke declined to pick up the €25M buy option that was attached with the loan but Barcelona are still looking to move on from the youngster which could be had for around €18M. Benfica are weighting their options with the likely departure of current starting center back Ruben Dias during the summer transfer window and have also been linked to center backs Robin Koch of Freiburg and Ruben Semedo of Olympiakos.
