Todibo: I'd rather play in French lower leagues than sit on the Barcelona bench

Jean-Clair Todibo has admitted that he would rather play in the French lower leagues than sit on the bench at Barcelona.

Todibo was touted as a future star after signing for Barca from Toulouse in 2019, but he has so far failed to impose himself on the senior squad at Camp Nou.

The 21-year-old was loaned to Schalke and Benfica before joining Nice on a temporary deal until the end of the 2020-21 campaign, and has conceded a move to Championnat National 2 outfit Sedan would hold greater appeal to him than returning to Barca and playing a bit-part role again.
