Agent: Napoli don’t want Seri

Jean Michael Seri’s agent is ‘open to talks with Napoli’ but admits the Partenopei are not interested in the Nice midfielder.

Seri had been heavily linked with Napoli last week, but they have since agreed a deal for Real Betis starlet Fabian Ruiz, who plays in the same position as the Ivorian. 

Jean Michael Seri’s agent is ‘open to talks with Napoli’ but admits the Partenopei are not interested in the Nice midfielder.

Seri had been heavily linked with Napoli last week, but they have since agreed a deal for Real Betis starlet Fabian Ruiz, who plays in the same position as the Ivorian. 

“Seri to Napoli? It doesn’t depend on us but on Napoli,” Franklin Mala told Radio CRC.

“I read that Napoli are signing Fabian Ruiz, so if they sign the Spaniard, it’ll be difficult to sign Seri too.

“We’re open to talks with Napoli, but there’s been nothing so far. Seri’s clause is 40m and it’s valid until July 15. After that, Nice can ask for the amount they want.

“Ancelotti is a great Coach, he has an excellent reputation in football because he’s able to establish an excellent relationship with his players.

“For now, however, it’s all fantasy because as long as Napoli don’t come forward, it’s difficult to give precise answers.

“My trip to Naples? Yes, I was in Naples because I have friends in Avellino and I also had lunch at Piazza Vittoria for some seafood.”
