BARCELONA have ended their interest in Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri, according to reports in Spain.

It is the latest setback in a disastrous summer on the transfer front for Barcelona, who appear to have lost their touch when it comes to getting deals over the line.

Jean-Michael Seri in action for Nice during 2-0 loss to Napoli in Champions League

Marca report negotiations were proceeding until last night before they were broken off as the two clubs failed to agree a fee.
Seri has been likened by many to Xavi and had been a long-term target for the Catalans.
The 26-year-old was instrumental as Nice enjoyed a sensational season in Ligue 1 — finishing third.
Speaking after last night’s defeat to Napoli, he said: “This is not my last game for Nice.
“I will play against Amiens at the weekend.”
The Catalans lost Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record £198million and the only player have signed as a replacement is former Tottenham flop Paulinho.

Jean-Michael Seri has been likened by many former Barcelona icon Xavi. 

Barca are struggling to secure deals for Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele — and have suffered another blow in the transfer market.
Angel Di Maria is another top target for the Catalans.
But relationships with PSG are at an all-time low after the bitter Neymar saga.
