The player was left at Nice this summer but Barcelona staff still like him
The deal with the player and with Nice is more or less sealed
Barcelona are planning to sign Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri in the winter window. The Nice player was left behind at the last moment this summer with Barcelona staff prefering to push for Coutinho and Angel Di Maria.
The Seri case was surprising because when there was a deal with the player and Nice, who would receive 40 million euros, Barcelona decided not to proceed with the operation. The reality is that they tried to sign Coutinho first.
SPORT have been able to confirm with sources within Barcelona that a deal could happen, although they have not ruled out other options like returning for Coutinho. Although Seri is disappointed by what happened, he would still sign in January because his dream is to play for the club.
