Atalanta ‘make contact’ for West Ham’s Jean Clair Todibo as Napoli weigh other defensive options | OneFootball

Jean Clair Todibo looks to be on his way out of West Ham after their relegation, with Serie A emerging as a possible landing spot. The centre-back has struggled to settle since arriving two years ago for a significant fee.

Alfredo Pedulla reports that Atalanta have made initial contact over a deal, Napoli have been offered the chance to sign him and Marseille have presented the player with an offer. The interest from Atalanta is considered somewhat surprising.

The situation is said to hinge on Cristiano Guintoli, who wanted Todibo at Juventus and maintains strong relationships around him. Todibo is viewed as a specialist option to strengthen a backline, and there have also been enquiries for Alessio Romagnoli.

Napoli, meanwhile, like Todibo but appear more focused on Benoit Badiashile and Federico Gatti. Evaluations of the Chelsea defender are ongoing amid fitness concerns.

Gatti’s name is gaining prominence because of Max Allegri’s good relationship with him from their time together in Turin.
