Former Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo has spoken about his frustrating time in Catalonia.
The France international joined the Blaugrana from Nice in January 2019 as one of the best young defenders in the French league.
However, injury problems and managerial changes meant he was not fully settled at the club, and a loan move was quickly arranged.
After spells at Schalke 04 and Benfica, Todibo realized his future was not at Barcelona, after just four La Liga appearances at the start of the 2020/21 season.
He joined Nice on loan, and the French club activated his purchase clause in June 2021, after an impressive season.
His stock has continued to rise, with links to the Premier League and Paris Saint-Germain, despite his reputation for lackluster applications at Barcelona.
Todibo has claimed that he was never comfortable at Barcelona, and that his time there was not made easy by the club and his teammates, as part of a new documentary about the club from Amazon Prime.
He added: “They said I would be a replacement for (Gerard) Pique, but I never had the opportunity. I only played five matches, and I performed well, but they never told me anything. No one wanted to talk to me at Barcelona, only (Eric).” Abidal.”
