Roque reveals exit plan
Roque Santa Cruz has revealed that he has already told Blackburn that he wants to leave the club this summer.
The Paraguayan star was the subject of more than one bid from Manchester City in January - but Rovers stood firm and shunned the offers.
As a host of clubs are continually being linked with the former Bayern Munich man - who has confirmed that he will defintley be looking to leave the club.
The 27-year-old is currently recovering from knee surgery and he told the media in his homeland that he would be looking to quit Ewood Park - whether they stay up or not.
"I have already told them (Blackburn) and they know that before the transfer window closes I would like to continue my career at a bigger, more ambitious team," he told Radio Nanduti.
"Even though I haven't heard anything, I haven't changed my mind."
Santa Cruz admits he may struggle to play for Rovers again this season, admitting that he could very well have already played his final game for the club.
"I think it will be very difficult for me to play again this season because of the recovery. Our last league match is on May 24 and I also need a couple of days for my knee to physically recover," he said.
"I had to clean the zone where I had the cruciate ligament operation I had three or four years ago because there was some liquid there.
"When I had the tendonitis in the left knee, it made the other leg overwork. That's why it got worse and I needed the surgery.
"Now, it is up to the knee. The recovery time is between four and six weeks and I will not hurry. The most important thing is to play without any problems.
"I will wait for my knee to be perfect, no matter how long it takes."
