This Monday, Benfica closed the hiring of French central Jean-Clair Todibo, after a trip by Rui Costa, SAD administrator, to the Catalan city. The defender arrives at Luz on loan for a season from Barcelona, leaving SAD embodied with a non-mandatory purchase option at the end of the season worth 15 million euros.
Todibo turned out to be the Eagles’ “B” plan after they abandoned Lucas Veríssimo’s contract with Santos.
The 20-year-old under-20 international for the Gauls, Todibo, was signed by Barcelona de Toulouse in the summer of 2018 but had only played five games in the main team so far. In 2019/20 he was loaned out to the Germans from Schalke 04.
Thus, the wish of Jorge Jesús is fulfilled, who after the match with Farense had reinforced the need for Benfica to move forward to hire another central defender. Todibo will arrive in Lisbon in the next few days to carry out medical and physical examinations and sign a contract.
