Watched highlights of Nice's recent games - Seri definitely plays as 6 right now, so you're right. Even if Fred is a prime target, Txiki has to have an alternative as a negotiation tool.Pretty sure Seri and Fred are similar sorts of players. Barcelona were after Seri in the summer as were PSG I think.
To be fair, if you're 5'4 and make it as anything other than a jockey in sports, you've got to have something about you. But yeah, from the descriptions, he doesn't sound like a Fernandinho replacement.He's 5ft4?! I'm not saying get Fellaini, but 5ft4 for a DM/pivot? If Barca and PSG want him, he must have something about him, but that's got to be a question mark.
