League Cup winning Swansea City manager, Michael Laudrup is reportedly unhappy at the Welsh club. The Dane seems to be at logger-heads with the team chairman Huw Jenkins over the budget cap placed on the club for the summer.
With Swansea playing in the Europa League, now the manager believes he could do with a lot more money to beef up the squad. Last summer, the team spent £5 million twice on Pablo Hernandez and Ki Sung-Yueng but the former Barcelona player wants to spend more for the club to have any realistic chance of of winning another trophy.
The manager and the chairman haven’t spoken in over a week and it is believed that former’s agent, Bayram Tutumlu, is acting as the link between the two.
Laudrup has been sought by many clubs after winning the Cup and guiding the Swans to 9th in the league. Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid are known to be observers but the Dane was hoping he could guide the Welsh club to more success with the help of some spending in the market. He put pen to paper on a new two-year deal in March and feels the club has let him down.
Celta Vigo striker, Iago Aspas, was high on the list of Laudrup’s targets but the move seems unlikely with the striker possibly heading to Liverpool. Other targets such as St Etienne’s Aubameyang and Sevilla’s Negredo are unavailable for the current budget that the club has.
Jenkins and Tutumlu will have further talks about this issue in the coming days to sort out what happens to the club and the manager.
