Garry Monk will hold crunch talks with Spanish star Michu tomorrow as the prospect of the frustrated forward quitting Swansea City grows.

Michu has been missing from the start of pre-season testing and training in South Wales as speculation over his future intensifies.

Monk insisted there had been no formal offer for the 28-year-old, but it is known that there is interest in the attacking ace, with Atletico Madrid and Napoli having both made admiring glances his way.

Monk, who has signed striker Bafetimbi Gomis this summer, insisted yesterday he would be happy for Michu to stay in South Wales.

But it is thought the club are ready to listen to offers of around £8m - £10m for the former Rayo Vallecano man, with the player appearing increasingly disillusioned with life at the Liberty last season as injuries and indifferent form took hold.

Michu, who faced an operation on his ankle last season as well as suffering with knee problems, is thought to have been told he can return later to training along with other international players

Monk will take his squad to the USA on Sunday for a two-week training camp and two friendly games, and it is thought a decision as to whether Michu will travel will be part of the talks between manager and player.

“We had planned to meet and we'll talk about things,” said Monk. “He's a quality player, a great lad, someone who scores goals so there will always be interest in someone like that.

“We will sit down and see the best way to go forward but as far as I'm concerned right now he is a Swansea City player and I hope that continues.”

Monk is thought to enjoy a good relationship with Michu but there have been suggestions he is keen to quit Britain and return to his homeland.

And Monk did admit that offers would have to be considered.

“I want him to stay but we're the same as every club in the world where if an offer comes in and it's right for the club and the player feels he wants to move on then you discuss it,” added Monk. “But as it stands we've had nothing concrete so there's nothing to discuss.”
