Atletico Madrid turn to Swansea striker Michu

Atletico Madrid are eyeing Swansea City striker Michu.

WalesOnline says Atletico could be ready to test Swansea's resolve to keep hold of Spanish ace Michu - and it is thought the Liberty Stadium outfit may be tempted to sell the 26-year-old if the offer is right.

Michu is viewed by Atletico as a replacement for the Chelsea bound Diego Costa.

With Napoli and Rafa Benitez also reported to being interested in Michu, it is thought Swansea would consider selling the attacker if a bid touching £10m is lodged, especially now a deal for Lyon's out-of-contract France striker Bafetimbi Gomis looks a possibility.
