Rayo Vallecano star Michu is being linked with a £3 million move to the Premier League.
The Daily Mail says Rayo Vallecano's financial problems mean the former Real Oviedo and Celta Vigo player, who hit 17 goals in 39 games, is available at significantly less than the club's original £8m asking price.
Manchester United scouts have been watching Michu, 26, and London-based agents DBW have also spoken with several other English clubs, including Liverpool, about him.
