Manchester United have registered their interest in Jean-Clair Todibo with Nice.
French centre-back Todibo, 23, left Barcelona for OGCN in January 2021, where he has made great strides since.
United see the stopper as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire, should he choose to leave this month.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting: "Manchester United had contacts to be informed on the conditions of Jean Clair Todibo deal. No bid or talks at this stage as the option could only be activated if Harry Maguire leaves.
"Juventus already left the race for Todibo last week."
