Barcelona are moving for Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.

Barca management are seeking a defensive lynchpin to work as cover - or alongside - Sergi Busquets.

And Marca says high on their shopping list is Seri, with talks to open this week as they seek to spend the €222m raised from Neymar's sale to PSG.

Ironically, Seri is also interesting PSG, though has spoken enthusiastically about playing in Spain for the Blaugrana.

Nice will reluctantly sell the midfielder this month for €25-30m.
