Fulham are launching a bid for Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo.

Sport says Todibo is likely to be leaving Barcelona before the transfer window closes.

The French defender knows he is not in the club's plans and they want to sell him to invest in other signings. The latest club to make a move for him are Premier League new boys Fulham.

The English side, who were in the news earlier on Tuesday when they signed ex-Barça man Marlon Santos, are prepared to offer around 18 million euros plus five million more in variables.

Barça like the offer and are waiting to see what Todibo says. He's well thought of in the Premier League and has also drawn interest from Everton, Wolves and Leicester.
