Plenty of Everton supporters have flocked to an emerging transfer report this week.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona are keen to sell centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo in order to garner some funds with the Toffees said to have already reached an agreement over the move.
However, it’s claimed that the La Liga giants are waiting for a better offer, one that is around €25m (£22.6m) upfront.
The 20-year-old has endured an injury-ridden campaign whilst on loan to Schalke 04 and has been restricted to just 13 appearances in all competitions, via Transfermarkt.
Who would you rather sign this summer?
Jean-Clair Todibo
Kurt Zouma
Gabriel Magalhaes
Todibo has received glowing endorsements in the past, such as being compared to former Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly whilst World Cup-winner Lothar Matthaus described the colossus as the “best centre-back” he’s seen in a long time.
Despite his tipped potential, many at Goodison Park are torn about seeing him potentially arrive in Merseyside.
Some are much keener on fellow target Gabriel from Lille whilst others believe he’d be a “great signing” for Carlo Ancelotti.
Here’s how the rest of the fanbase have discussed the news…
Rather sign Gabriel looks a better prospect

Could be a great signing, has great footwork for a CB and is big. If Carlo wants to play is out from the back more, makes sense and is only 20.

If Carlo wants him then that’s it he knows more about the footballing world than any of us

Don’t waste the money on him, he’s another Stones, thinks he’s a ball player

Good signing that

Had a chance to watch him since return of Bundesliga and not been convinced myself. Zouma a better target I think. Stones even?

Hope so, exactly the sort of signing we should be making

Young and loads of potential, haven’t been impressed with him for Schalke
