Club career

Toulouse

Todibo joined the Toulouse in 2016, from FC Les Lilas.[4] He made his Ligue 1 debut on 19 August 2018 against Derby de la Garonne rivals Bordeaux, playing 89 minutes in an eventual 2–1 home win. On 1 September, he was sent off in 26 minutes of a 2–1 win at Guingamp.[5] He played ten games for the club and scored once, a late equaliser on 30 September in a 1–1 draw at Rennes.[6]

Barcelona

On 8 January 2019, Todibo reached an agreement with FC Barcelona which would see him join them on a free transfer in July 2019, when his contract with Toulouse was due to expire.[7] However, the Spanish side pushed the transfer forward and he joined the club on 31 January 2019. He became the 22nd French player to sign for Barcelona and was handed the number 6 shirt.[8] He made his debut for Barcelona in a La Liga match against SD Huesca on the 13th of April in a 0–0 draw. He earned high praise for his performance.

Schalke 04

On 15 January 2020, Todibo was loaned to Bundesliga club Schalke 04 until the end of the season with a buy option for €25 million, plus €5 million in add-ons.[9]. In March, Todibo was named Schalke's Player of the Month which was voted by the fans. [10]

International career

Todibo made his international debut for France under-20 on 16 November 2018, in a 1–1 friendly draw with Switzerland in Cartagena, Spain.[11]
