Arsene Wenger is facing a crisis at the Gunners, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being sold to Liverpool.
Alexis Sanchez, meanwhile, who is out of contract at the end of this campaign, is being pursued by Manchester City.
A midfielder has been identified as a priority, with question marks surrounding Jack Wilshere’s future, but the clock is ticking with the window closing at 11pm tonight.
Seri has been on the Gunners’ radar, with Arsene Wenger keen to provide some steel in the middle of the park.
I want to sign for big European clubs, like Juventus, PSG, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool
Barcelona were also in the hunt for him and he admitted earlier this week that a five-year contract was offered.
But The Guardian claim Wenger is unlikely to sign Seri today.
Although the report adds the French tactician wanted a replacement for Santi Cazorla, who has been out of action since last October, a deal is unlikely to materialise.
Seri admitted earlier this week he would be open to a move to the Premier League.
He said: “Is the Barca move dead? I want to be optimistic and think that there are still options.
“Let the two clubs talk quietly again and come to an agreement.
“We are not talking about any club, where you are going to sign for money.
“I want to sign for big European clubs, like Juventus, PSG, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool.”
