Barcelona's collapsed move for Nice star Jean Michael Seri was allegedly down to the intervention of Paris Saint-Germain - the club that snatched Neymar from the Catalan giants.
That is the accusation that has been levelled at the French giants by Seri's agent Franklin Mala, who was quoted in Marca as he alleged that PSG's Qatari owners had a hand to play in causing the transfer to fall apart at the last moment.
Barcelona had appeared on the cusp of securing Seri's signature for a fee thought to be in the region of €40m, but reports after the deal collapsed appeared to suggest that the 26-year-old was not highly thought of among La Blaugrana's coaching staff.
