Jean-Michaël Seri was the big aim of the FC Barcelona in summer after descartara the incorporation of Marco Verratti. However, when the agreement already was practically closed with all the parts, the Barcelona club decided to break the negotiations and no fichar to the African midfield player of the Nice. For the player, went a big moral hit and does not save good memory of the Catalan club.
"Although it was the Barcelona, do not want to be dish of second table. I know of what am able in a field of football and think that have showed to have qualities. As if they choose me, I want that they take me well, that was a priority, no a complement. That's why have the head centred in the football. I have dreamed a lot with the Barça, but the message of the Barça was clear. Many would have expected more time", commented Seri in an interview to France Football.
Also it explained that other players would have used to the media in his case. "Some would have spoken in the media. For my, a player speaks in the field, no in the means. Those that speak a lot are mediocre players, that need that it know them . I repeated me that, on the one hand, there was a club for which I was not a priority, and of the another, a club that wants me. It would have been of silly anger because a club has not wanted you in place to give it all to the that loves you", said.
The player of the Nice did not want to remember the facts of the past summer. "I do not have many win to remember all what happened. There was a period complicated when it was in the selection. The market closed when it was in Gabon. I concentrated me before the party in Abidjan and when I returned to Nice left this sideways. For my is all forgotten, made a fresh start and thought in the party against the Monaco", explained.

Seri Saw affected by the course backwards of the Barcelona in his signing. "This left me touched, but took this moment with perspective. I concentrated me in what I know to do, play to football. There was not another solution neither at all better that go back to play to football. Follow the same would not have served of at all. I admit that it was not easy. But today it does not remain in my head any memory of all this. I think in the future, there are a lot of beautiful things for doing", commented.
