# Everton keen to sign Seri for £25m

Everton are one of the teams interested in signing Nice midfielder Jean Seri, who is available for £25 million.

The Ivorian midfielder was a key part of Nice’s success in Ligue 1 last season and he came very close to joining [Barcelona](https://readlaliga.com/) off the back of that.

Seri was heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp throughout the summer but a deal fell through. French rivals Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed an interest.

[Barcelona](https://readlaliga.com/) had £35 million bid rejected for the midfielder who is now available for just £25 million.

Seri was said to be keen on a move to [La Liga](https://readlaliga.com/) but has also expressed his interest in a [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) move in the past too.

Lucien Favre’s men struggled during the opening stages of the season but have seen their form pick up in recent weeks.
