Michu worth £30 million, says Laudrup

The Dane insists that the Spaniard, who has been free scoring this year, would cost double what Liverpool paid for Joe Allen, their £15 million purchase last year.

Laudrup said. “We have the example of what Liverpool paid for Joe Allen, if they have to pay double for Michu there are few clubs who could afford that.

“Joe went to Liverpool and you know more or less what they paid for him, but a guy who has scored many goals must be worth a lot more, so you work out the figures.

“I don’t think anyone will come with that money so he will stay here.”
