Who the girl Juan is planning to talk to is.

Hello.

Are both sentences below grammatical and which is more natural? Is "you have no idea" equivalent to "you have no clue" in this context?

How come you are so peeved? You have no clue who the girl Juan's planning to talk to is.

...You have no clue who the girl is that Juan's planning to talk to.

Thank you.
