Barcelona's next signing will cost €30 million

The information from France points towards a deal worth €30 million, despite initial reports suggesting the move to be valued at €40 million.

Seri is the chosen midfielder to strengthen the middle of the park at the Camp Nou, a position Barcelona are in need of reinforcing.

Spanish 'SER' contacted Nice president Jean Pierre Riviere regarding the potential move, but the French club's chairman denied any contact with the Catalan outfit.

Other versions are offered in France, with sources assuring Seri is very close to a switch to La Liga. Even former Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez is keen on the move.
