Garry Monk expects Michu exit

Swansea City manager Garry Monk admits that he is not expecting Michu to return to the club for the final year of his contract.

Garry Monk has admitted that he is not expecting Michu to return to Swansea City at the end of his Napoli loan.

The Spanish striker, who has a year remaining on his current deal with the South Wales side, has spent the season with the Serie A club, but has struggled with injuries and has not played since October.

The manager said at a press conference: "We'll speak in the summer and see how he feels about where his future lies and sort it out from there. It was Michu's decision last summer to move to Napoli and I supported that decision for various reasons.

"It's unlikely Michu's opinion has changed suddenly after being away from the club for a full year and wanting to try something new. You would imagine he'd want the same, but until I hear from him I don't know what he wants to do this time around."

Michu joined Swansea in 2012 for £2.2m from Rayo Vallecano, scoring 22 goals in his first season at the club.
