Don't we have enough CBs: Bremer, Danilo, Djalo, Gatti. If we buy Todibo, does that mean either Djalo or Gatti would go?
Don't we have enough CBs? Yes!
Don't we have enough great CBs? No!
Dont know about Tobido but if he is great I hope we get him as our defense is really meh at the moment.

How good is he compared to Calafiori?

if this guy is any good, why do psg want huijsen instead of him?
If we can sell Huijsen now for €30m, that's a €30m plus on the balance for this year. Going on to signing Todibo for €30m, those costs can be split over three, four, five years. So maybe we only spend €10m on Todibo now. That generates a €20m plusvalenza

younger and spanish connection with Enrique. Huijsen could be like Le Normand / Laporte for Spain now, ball playing CB for their possesion football. PSG like Yoro but Yoro has offers from Real and Man Utd and probably more expensive.

I also think Huijsen can be a top player but if Guintoli thinks that we need more ready player like Todibo as first choice CB to partner Bremer, it would still be still ok decision as long as valuation is around the same.

Calafiori is actually a very good CB despite his age and this is why I feel we missed a gem and Arsenal got one.
How good is Calafiori? enough to come here and get a steady place alongside Bremer.

The issue with Huijsen instead of Calafiori is that he's not quite ready, whereas the club is in win now mode due to the past failed seasons. If Huijsen was just a project we could keep as 4th choice then fine but if someone is offering big money for him that could be used for starting players then the club has a decision to make. Soulé, to a lesser extent, may also fall into this category. He might be ready for Juve right away but may need time. Calafiori himself may not even be ready from the first minute, but he's more experienced and so less of a risk.

If we had a turnover of 700m then we wouldn't need to worry about these things and just put them in the squad or back on loan, but the club is still in financial difficulty so needs to think about players like these who would produce pure profit on the books.

#Todibo is the central defender who today convinces #Juventus more than others. Negotiation to be developed, but real satisfaction for two weeks
