Jean‑Claude Todibo transfer saga

Entities: West Ham United · Berat Djimsiti · Jean‑Claude Todibo · Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio · AC Milan

Overview

In late July 2026, Juventus were reported to be preparing a move for French centre‑back Jean‑Claude Todibo after West Ham’s relegation to the Championship made the defender expendable. Juventus saw him as a possible replacement for Gleison Bremer and were weighing a loan that could become permanent, while clubs such as Marseille, Fenerbahçe and Manchester United also monitored his situation.

A week later West Ham reversed its stance, opening to loan options. Italian media noted AC Milan’s €5 million loan‑to‑buy offer with a €10 million purchase obligation, and Napoli were in advanced talks for a similar deal. The Hammers, who had paid £33 million for Todibo, appeared ready to include a buy‑out clause in any loan arrangement.

By early August, Juventus remained the frontrunner, but Atalanta entered the race. West Ham set a price tag of €17‑20 million and indicated willingness to consider offers. Juventus retained a slight edge, while Atalanta viewed Todibo as a high‑profile contingency amid its own defensive reshuffle, including the possible departure of Albanian defender Berat Djimsiti. The saga now involves multiple Serie A clubs competing for the French defender as West Ham seeks to balance its books after relegation.
