Michu to Napoli imminent

By Football Italia staff

Napoli and Swansea City are seen as close to finalising terms of agreement on an initial loan move for forward Michu.

The two clubs are reported both by Il Mattino and Sky Sports as closing in on a final deal for the Spain -capped striker, in the form of an initial loan switch out to the San Paolo for 2014-15.

It is understood that the transfer, which will include a purchase option of €10m, around £8m, is all but agreed and that it could be announced in the coming hours.

Speculation is that the 28-year-old will then immediately join Rafa Benitez’s squad for preseason training at Dimaro.
