Deportivo play a pre-season friendly against Swansea City on August 1 and it may not be the only contact between both clubs after the Galician outfit have singled out Michu as a potential addition to the Depor attack. The 29 year old doesn’t fit with long term plans at the Liberty Stadium and as he is out of contract in 2016, the Premier League club is happy to listen to offers for the player.
Michu’s poor form after a lengthy lay-off from injury has meant that the forward is anxious to revive his career. In the 2013-14 injury plagued season he only played 17 matches. Last season he was offloaded by Swansea to Serie A club Napoli and only managed six appearances for Rafa Benitez’s team
The only potential obstacle in a move to Galicia could be connected with the players salary. Both sides will explore ways to secure a deal that would be mutually suitable and as was the case with recent Depor acquisition, Arribas, they may to look to offer the Asturian a longer contract.
Depor coach, Víctor, is an admirer of the player. Michu is a versatile striker who can play as an attacking midfielder, traditional midfielder, second forward or even as a lone number ’9’.
