Jean-Clair Todibo, a 26-year-old central defender for West Ham, is a potential signing for Napoli. Napoli has accelerated its search for a new defender after an injury to Alessandro Buongiorno. Before pursuing a new player, Napoli must first complete some outgoing transfers to create space in their squad. Todibo has been previously linked to other Italian clubs, including Juventus, and is on a list of monitored players that also includes Federico Gatti and Benoît Badiashile.

The French player is being considered, but Napoli is keeping multiple options open before deciding on a final target. Todibo has two caps for France. He joined his current club in July 2025, and his contract is valid until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, Todibo's estimated market value is €22.00m. Olympique Marseille has also been linked with him.
