Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo is a man in demand at the moment as multiple clubs look to secure his signature.
The centre-back looks increasingly likely to join Italian side AC Milan, but according to Sport Witness, who quote Mundo Deportivo, the defender is yet to make a decision.
Southampton are keeping a close eye on his situation and could make a loan offer to hijack AC Milan’s move, but Todibo has asked for a few more days to make his final decision.
The 20-year-old is highly-rated by Barcelona and they will only let him leave on loan as the Frenchman looks for regular playing time for the remainder of the season.

As stated in the report, the centre-back wants a future at the Nou Camp so the Saints should offer him a loan deal.
Todibo would be a strong addition to the Saints squad and would improve their defensive unit because of his athleticism and aerial prowess.
AC Milan want a loan also but would like to include the option to sign him permanently. However, that is something that the player does not want.
A straight loan with no option to buy would be the most attractive offer and the Saints are still in the hunt for his signature despite AC Milan representatives meeting with Barcelona.
