Ben Arfa has filtered 18 offers down to three: Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain and Barça

Nice forward Hatem Ben Arfa has finished his season with his club side and now has to decide what to do with his future. 

The 29-year-old Frenchman has told Canal+ that during recent months he has "received 18 offers", although after a filtering process he's "been left with just three". 

The French television channel speculated that the offers are from Lyon (who Ben Arfa played for between 2003 and 2008), Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. 

Barça have him on their list as they look to add depth to their forward line next season for various reasons: his enormous quality, his versatility, he's availabvle for free and his salary is not especially high. 

The first option for the Catalan club, however, had been Ousmane Dembele, who has finally signed for Borussia Dortmund from Rennes. 

All three teams with offers to Ben Arfa, who even Gerard Pique has praised, will be in the Champions League next season.
