Michael Laudrup's agent claims there has yet to be any approach from managerless Swansea City.

But Dane's representative insists there has been no contact

Michael Laudrup's agent claims there has yet to be any approach from managerless Swansea City. After talks broke down between the Liberty Stadium club and Wigan Athletic assistant boss Graeme Jones, the Barcelona legend has been reported as a target. Blackpool boss Ian Holloway, Brighton's Gus Poyet and Rayo Vallecano's Jose Ramon Sandoval have also been mentioned as potential successors to Brendan Rodgers, who joined Liverpool on 1st June. But former Denmark international Laudrup, a European Cup winner considered one of the greatest players of his generation, would cause the most excitement among Swansea fans. The 47-year-old's last managerial job was with Mallorca, who he left in the autumn of 2011, and he is rumoured to be open to offers. But his agent, Byram Tutumlu, has announced there has yet to be any contact from representatives at Swansea. Tutumlu is quoted as saying: "We have not heard anything from Swansea."
