According to the Mirror, Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race for Liverpool and Barcelona target, Jean Michael Seri, just to “f*** Barca” according to the player’s agent.
Liverpool and Arsenal have both been credited with an interest in signing Seri, but Barcelona had appeared favourites as they seek reinforcements late in the window.
Barcelona were reportedly very close to signing the Ivorian international for £40 million but now PSG want to hijack the deal just so they can rub salt into the wounds of the Spanish giants.
The only explanation for this could be that PSG think one of their main rivals for the Champions League is Barcelona, so the French side will want to hinder their chances as much as possible by signing their targets and one of their best players in Neymar.
After failing to sign Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, Liverpool were interested in the Nice midfielder, as they have very similar styles of play, and in recent games for Liverpool, many have criticised their talent in midfield.
Seri’s agent had this to say:
It was possible to reach an agreement as Barcelona and Nice were negotiating, On Tuesday, they were in France, talking about technical aspects but they already knew Seri’s capabilities. PSG came three days ago. Now PSG is putting pressure on the club to take the player, it’s crazy. They just want to do it to f*** Barca.
