Todibo one of several defenders on Inter's list

Inter are looking at Jean-Clair Todibo as a potential replacement for Milan Skriniar, reports Foot Mercato.

The club has not ruled out the sale of Skriniar and are now assessing options to potentially replace him.

Verona have agreed to the deal with only a few details left to iron out.
