The signing of Jean Michael Seri by Barça is in the final stretch. The Barca team is negotiating with Nice , to try to close the hiring of the Ivorian midfielder, who already has a closed agreement with the Catalans for the next four seasons. The two clubs have maintained an excellent relationship since summer 2014 as a result of the invitation to Barça to be the rival in the long-awaited Allianz Riviera stadium, a game that ended with a draw.
On Monday, the newspaper LÉquipe published that the private clause between Seri and Nice that allowed the player to leave the club if an offer of 40 million euros had expired on July 15, but sources of the French team consulted by the ' Cadena SER 'denied that the agreement had been prescribed, reason why the sale price of the midfielder is still valid. The idea of Barça is to negotiate now the terms of payment of the transfer and the intention is to make two payments in order to have a greater capacity of investment in this market of signings for other incorporations.
Faced with this imminent outcome of the future of Seri and as MD has published, the midfielder would like to be able to say goodbye to his fans on Tuesday in the Champions League qualifier against Naples, where the French need to overcome the 2- 0 fit in the first leg in San Paolo. If Nice qualify for the group stage of the main continental competition would receive 12.7 million euros plus the revenue from television rights, an amount that would allow the French team to replace Seri's march.
In Barça there is full confidence that the signing of Jean Michael Seri can be realized shortly, since the agreement with the player is total, and he foresees that the negotiations with the Nice are easier than with other objectives of the azulgrana set.
