Swansea City have had a 25million euro bid for Jonathan Viera rejected by his club Las Palmas.

Liberty chiefs want Viera to join up with former team-mate Roque Mesa, who joined from the Spanish outfit earlier this month.

Canarias7, who were accurate in their reporting of Swansea's interest in Mesa, state Swansea's advances for the 27-year-old have been knocked back by the club .

They also state Viera has a 30million euro release clause in his contract, which runs until 2021.

Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez considers Viera integral to his side's La Liga efforts and will be loathe to lose another of his star men following Mesa's switch to South Wales.

But if Swansea meet the release clause, Canarias7 report that deal could be done.

They showed interest during the Mesa negotiations - and have now made a fresh attempt to bring Viera to the Premier League.

Viera, like Mesa, was a stand-out performer for the Spanish outfit last term, scoring seven goals and adding seven assists in 31 La Liga outings for the islanders.

He can play on the wing on in a more central role and could feasibly fill in for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who is wanted by Everton and Leicester City.

The former Valencia man is on the fringes of the Spanish national team and recently told Marca that he is looking forward to the season ahead.

"The truth is that I am very well," he said.

"I have worked in summer to not start from scratch.

"If you do not make it to the pre-season, you've wasted your time. I have rested for two weeks in the summer and have already set out to make the best of these months. I really want to start because I think this can be our year."

Back in May, however, he did not rule out leaving his boyhood club.

"I'm very happy here and the fans are wonderful, but in football you never know what will happen tomorrow."

Real Betis are also tracking developments, as are Newcastle and Everton.

At 25million euros, Viera would become Swansea's record signing by some distance.
