Todibo open to Barca return
Jean-Clair Todibo, currently playing for Nice, remains open to a potential return to Barcelona, despite his earlier stint with the club did not go as planned.

When asked about a return to Barcelona, Todibo told Canal +: "Why not? I don't regret it, not at all. Barcelona is still a great experience. I learned a lot from Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet... It did me good. I discovered the very, very high level.
"I didn't have the desired minutes because there were very, very big players in front of me. I also had a coach, Ernesto Valverde, who was under pressure, so it was normal for him to play Gerard Pique instead of an inexperienced 19-year-old."
