Despite Leicester already having the likes of Wilfried Ndidi and Danny Drinkwater as starters, the Foxes have been reported as interested in signing a new midfielder in the summer.
The same applies to Everton, who purchased Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye last season, as well as overseeing the emergence of Tom Davies.
The pair have been allegedly following the situation surrounding OGC Nice’s Jean Michael Seri, currently in talks to renew his contract with the French side, whose season with the Ligue 1 club has not gone unnoticed.
With six goals and nine assists in 31 league games, the 25-year-old has impressed greatly and is now said to be the subject of interest from FC Barcelona in La Liga.
Mundo Deportivo on Tuesday report the Ivory Coast international is an alternative for the club if they fail in their attempts to sign Marco Verratti from Paris Saint-Germain, which is entirely likely.
A great all-rounder, Seri, dubbed ‘the African Xavi’ by the newspaper, has already expressed a desire to wear the famous Barcelona shirt in the future, making this move a no-brainer for him if the interest became something more.
As things stand, the most likely option would be for Seri to renew at Nice and continue to help the side grow, but if he had to choose between Everton, Leicester or Barcelona, we all know where he would end up.
