Atalanta want Todibo more than Napoli, as West Ham United need sale | OneFootball

West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo is a target for Atalanta more than Napoli, claims Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà, with Olympique Marseille also interested.

The 26-year-old is eager to leave the Hammers following their relegation from the Premier League, and has no shortage of clubs keeping a close eye on the situation.

Atalanta are after Todibo

Napoli and Olympique Marseille have been mentioned so far, but Sportitalia pundit Pedullà notes that Atalanta are preparing to push for the centre-back.

This goes way back to when West Ham first secured Todibo from OGC Nice in 2024, on loan with an obligation to buy for a total €40m.

He had at the time been very close to joining Juventus only for negotiations to fall apart over personal terms.

The Juve director who held those talks was Cristiano Giuntoli, who has taken over as the Atalanta director of sport this summer.

Todibo is under contract with West Ham until June 2029.

Napoli are leaning more towards either Juventus defender Federico Gatti or Chelsea’s Benoit Badiashile.
