Paris Saint-Germain have been accused of trying to drive up the transfer fee for Jean Michael Seri.
Seri was expected to complete a €40 million move to Barcelona this week.
Seri’s agent Franklin Mala appeared on Catalan radio on Wednesday night to explain why his client’s dream move had fallen through.
“It was possible to reach an agreement as Barcelona and Nice were negotiating,” he told RAC1. “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 **** Barça.”
