Medusa wasn't "wanted". She was a well-known monster and hero-killer. When Perseus and his mother were cast into the sea by her father, Acrisius, they were discovered and cared for by a fisherman named Dictys. He loved Danae, but she did not love him back, but he cared for them anyway. The fisherman's brother, Polydectes, was the king of Seriphos. He also desired Danae, but was willing to take her by force if needed. So he devised a way to get Perseus off the island, hopefully never to return. So, he threw a banquet and invited his brother and his family. It was common for kings to ask for tribute or gifts at such feasts, and in this case, he asked for a horse from each attendee, knowing that the fisherman's protege would have no horses. Perseus, rashly, offered for the king to request any gift he chose, at which Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa. That is why Perseus went after her.
