Michu reveals he turned down a move to Aston Villa
Former Premier League striker Michu has revealed that he snubbed a move to Aston Villa back in 2015.Speaking to The Athletic, the former Swansea star claims that he was offered a bumper deal to join Aston Villa when Tim Sherwood was in charge of the club.
He said: “I remember in the last year of my contract with Swansea, I had an offer from Aston Villa when Tim Sherwood was manager. They offered me a three-year contract, so much money. But I said no because of the pain.”
Michu went on to explain that he had a problem in his ankle and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to perform to the best of his ability if he had joined Aston Villa then.
