Rafael Benitez could be about to lure Swansea City striker Michu away from South Wales to Napoli on a season-long loan deal. The striker suffered an ankle injury which disrupted much of last season, and has not travelled with the squad for their pre-season tour of the United States.
Swansea were reliant on goals from Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony in Michu’s absence, and have since further strengthened their attacking line-up by bringing in Marvin Emnes and Bafetimbi Gomis.
It now appears as though former Liverpool manager Benitez will offer Michu an escape by bringing him to Italy for a year. Bahia International, representatives of Michu, have confirmed that talks are ongoing between the parties involved.
A move could mean that Michu appears in the Champions League with Napoli for the first time in his career. He played in the Europa League with Swansea last season as the club eventually lost out to Napoli in a pulsating game. That night, Gonzalo Higuain and Lorenzo Insigne scored to dent Swansea’s European dreams, and Michu could be lining up alongside those players next season.
Michu scored 22 goals in 2012/13 as Swansea won the League Cup, the season he joined the club for just £2.2m from Rayo Vallecano. He made his full Spain debut last October in a 2-1 win over Belarus. Despite playing only three seasons of top flight football, Michu has scored 36 times in 89 appearances in the Premier League and La Liga.
