Jean Michael Seri's agent, Franklin Mala, has heavily criticised Barcelona after they pulled out of a deal at the last minute to sign his player.

Mala has shed light on the transfer saga that nearly took Seri to the Camp Nou in August.

He told ‘Breaking Foot’: "I think Barcelona caused problems for the player. Seri said two years ago, while everyone was laughing, that his dream was to play for Barca.

“The opportunity arose, they give him the signed contract and at the last moment, without warning and without an explanation, he was told it was 'over'... It's a little complicated for a player."

Despite a deal coming so close, Mala couldn’t help but express his frustration with Barcelona’s men in charge.

He rounded off with: “Their attitude surprised me, that's what bothered me."
