Warnock fearful of Roque exit
The Paraguayan star is set to depart the club this summer, with the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham vying for his signature.
Warnock admits losing Santa Cruz will be a big blow to the Lancashire outfit.
"It is going to be difficult to keep Roque," he told Sky Sports News.
"He has stated he wants a new challenge where he could possibly play Champions League and he has more than proved himself in the Premier League.
"He is a player I admire tremendously and I think he is a fantastic player.
"As to how much, if he is sold we just have to wait and see, Mark Hughes did a great job of finding bargain players but it is very hard to keep on doing that."
Warnock insists that the club should be looking to push for a place in Europe next season.
"We have got to be looking to push on for Europe, our form in the second-half of the season showed that," he added."
Meanwhile, reports in German claim Rovers are set to seal the signing of Energie Cottbus goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel.
Neither side have confirmed the deal but it is reported that Rovers will pay £500,000 for the 30-year-old.
