Chelsea target Seri in £35m offer

Chelsea are reportedly targeting Nice's Jean Michael Seri, with rumours of a £35million summer move, however the midfielder will not take the offer unless there is stable management at the club.

Antonio Conte's future at the London club is growing increasingly uncertain, and it seems likely that come next season, the club will be under different management.

Seri is in hot demand with other Premier League clubs, including; Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, yet the 'Blues' are aiming to secure the signing before their English counterparts.

Last season, the 26-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Camp Nou. In fact, a transfer fee had been agreed and it was not until Barca pulled out at the last minute that the deal collapsed.

It is highly improbable that the Catalan giants would launch another bid for the midfielder this year, so it seems more likely that Seri will make his overseas debut in the Premier League.
