Swansea City striker Michu is attracting interest from every corner of Europe as he plans to complete his Liberty Stadium exit.

After Celtic joined the race yesterday, today Aston Villa and La Liga outfit Real Betis, of Seville, are now being linked with moves for the want-away 29-year-old .

Seville based news organisation El Decano Deportivo say : "In the last hours, a bid from Aston Villa has quite seduced the former Rayo Vallecano striker because he wants to continue in the Premier League.”

But Spanish national newspaper Marca say Real Betis technical director Eduardo Macia has been combing the market for an attacker to play alongside Ruben Castro and Jorge Molina, adding that Michu is his top target.

The report says: “Subject to economic conditions, a free transfer could be agreed for the man who has spent most of the last year recovering from injury in his home city of Oviedo.

“In recent weeks Betis have watched attempts to sign Daniel Osvaldo and Gerard Moreno go up in smoke, so have turned to Michu's representatives.”

But they say Macia and his transfer team will have to overcome two major obstacles if they want to land Michu, to play alongside big-name summer capture Rafael Van Der Vaart.

Marca explain: “The first is his salary. For Betis, the 60,000 euros he earns at Swansea is unaffordable.

“The second is convincing him to come.

"The only solution is to offer him a long-term deal with significant bonuses, as they have done this summer with Dutchnam Rafael Van Der Vaart.”

Michu has now been linked with Aston Villa, Real Betis, Celtic, Sevilla, Granada and Rayo Vallecano this summer but is still to negotiate his Swansea City exit.
