The Eagles want to hold on to the defense that Barcelona grants beyond 2021.

Officialized on Tuesday as a reinforcement of Benfica for the 2020/21 season already underway, Jean-Clair Todibo is seen by the officials incarnate as a project for the future.

According to O GOGO, the Luz leaders’ plans are to stay at the French center for the next five seasons. In fact, the agreement reached with the player already includes a contract that the defender may sign for the eagles if the purchase option agreed with Barcelona is activated.

Benfica secured the loan by paying two million euros, with a purchase option of 20 million euros to which, if activated, the amount now paid will be discounted. And in Luz, the conviction points to Todibo, led by Jorge Jesús, showing and improving the qualities that the convinced scout embodied two years ago, when the central defender left Toulouse and signed for Barça.

With no space at Barcelona, ​​Todibo was loaned out last season to the Germans from Schalke 04. The stage has been set again now and Benfica, after having lost the opportunity to sign Lucas Veríssimo to Santos, advanced to this old and very pointed target considered by the scouts of Benfica, for her technical ability, speed and physical stature (1.90 m).
