Liverpool are reportedly pondering a swoop for Swansea's Michu, however, any bid would cost the Reds £30million according to Swans chairman Huw Jenkins.
The 27-year-old signed for just £2.2million from Rayo Vallecano, but in light of Michu's call-up to the Spain squad, Jenkins now agrees with Laudrup's valuation.
It is understood that Arsene Wenger, as well as Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers, continues to monitor his progress, but will have to table a hefty bid to even tempt Swansea to sell.
On hearing of his call-up to the Spain squad, Michu said: "Every Spanish footballer dreams of this and it's so difficult. Few people can wear the shirt of the best team in the world.
"Let's see if fortune is with me and I can play, although I'm already grateful to be called up." (The Mail).
Rodgers, meanwhile, is understood to be preparing a big-money offer for highly rated Atletico Madrid youngster Koke in January.
Since the start of the 2013-14 campaign, Koke has already netted twice in his eight Liga games, goalscoring form that has evidently now caught the eye of Liverpool (Caught Offside).
