# Everton: Fans split on FC Barcelona ace Jean-Clair Todibo

**Plenty of Everton fans are split on the possible signing of FC Barcelona ace Jean-Clair Todibo as Spanish outlet** [Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-prepara-ventas-premier-8064900) **have reported that “everything points to” the Merseyside club getting him in the summer transfer window.**

As per the outlet, the Catalan giants are asking for a fee of 20 million euros, plus 5 million in bonuses, which is the equivalent of around £22.5 million.

However, the Toffees face potential competition from AS Roma to get his signature on the dotted line, as the publication also reports that the Blues have now frozen their interest for now anyway.

Nevertheless, if the opportunity arose, Carlo Ancelotti’s team could swoop in, providing that they pay the asking price.

The central defender, who was on loan at FC Schalke 04 in the 2019/20 season, averaged more tackles, interceptions and dribbles in the Bundesliga than Mason Holgate, Michael Keane and Yerry Mina did in the Premier League in the last campaign, but also averaged the fewest clearances, passes and long balls per league game, according to [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison).

Being just 20 years of age, Todibo arguably still has a lot of potential, but the Frenchman [does not have any prior experience playing in England](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jean-clair-todibo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/605184/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

These members of the Goodison Park faithful seemed split on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1290959487709466626) as to whether Todibo would be a good signing:
