Arsenal are still interested in Jean Michael Seri.
The 26-year-old midfielder is one of the sought-after players in Europe this summer, and several Premier League clubs are vying for his signature.
Serie A giants Roma had shown an interest in him, but they were put off by the Ivory Coast international’s £33 million release clause, reported by The Guardian.

L’Equipe claims that behind the scene, his name continues to be linked with a move away from OGC Nice, with Premier League clubs showing keen interest.
Swansea City have had a bid rejected for the player already. Tottenham are still in the race for him and are in the process of “studying his profile”.
Arsenal have shown a “real interest” in the player, and although they haven’t submitted any concrete offer, a move for the player cannot be ruled out.
Arsene Wenger loves to exploit the French market, and this season, he has done so by signing Alexandre Lacazette.
Last week, Eurosport France claimed that Tottenham Hotspur had made a £13.3 million bid for Nice midfielder, who scored seven goals and claimed nine assists in 34 Ligue 1 matches.
The midfielder is vital to Nice, and the interested clubs will have to offer an amount close to his release clause to lure him away from Allianz Riviera.
