Barcelona have reportedly ‘won the race’ to sign Toulouse defender Jean-Clair Todibo.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season for Les Violets this season, making 11 appearances in all competitions.

According to Sky Italia, Todibo rejected proposals from Real Madrid and Napoli to join the Catalan club.

French outlet L’Equipe recently labelled the teenager as ‘the next Varane’ due to their similarities in playing style.

Toulouse are understood to be frustrated with losing their prized prospect, who is able to leave for free this summer.

The Ligue 1 side are due compensation from Barça but nothing close to what his potential would command in the current market.
