Swansea City striker Michu has asked the Welsh club if he can be granted a free transfer, according to reports.
The 29-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Napoli, is said to be pining for a return to Spanish football.
According to The Mirror, Michu is on the radar of Granada and Rayo Vallecano, but neither would be able to afford both his wages and a transfer fee for the player.
The one-cap Spain international scored 22 goals in his debut season at the Liberty Stadium.
