Celtic Interested In Michu?
Express Sport is reporting that Scottish Champions Celtic are considering a move for want away Swansea striker Michu as the speculation over his future increases.
Yesterday it was Real Betis who were being linked with the player but now it is Celtic who want him to assist with their European campaign.
The Hoops go into the first leg of their match against Malmo tonight with the reward for the winners being a place in the group stages of the Champions League and that would mean a bigger squad is possibly needed at Celtic Park.
However, even if they do not get past Malmo then there is the consolation of Europa League football for them and although there is no confirmed interest in Michu they are believed to be wanting another striker with former star Gary Hooper also on their wanted list.
We know that Michu at Swansea and both club and player have been in talks to try and move him on from the club but as it stands at the moment then we have not got an agreement.
He has been linked with plenty of clubs beyond the two that are mentioned here with clubs in England, Italy and Spain all having been linked with the player who spent last season on loan at Napoli.
Whether Ronny Delia and Celtic join that race remains to be seen

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
