Clubs in queue for Santa Cruz
Roque Santa Cruz's agent has revealed a number of clubs, believed to include Stoke and Fulham, are chasing the Manchester City forward.[LNB] City are believed to be ready to listen to offers for Santa Cruz, who only joined the club from Blackburn in a £17.5million move last summer.[LNB]Santa Cruz has failed to make an impact at Eastlands and, with Roberto Mancini looking for striking reinforcements, it seems the Paraguayan could be on his way out of City.[LNB]Greek side Olympiakos, Marseille, Fenerbahce and Premier League pair Stoke and Fulham are all thought to be tracking Santa Cruz and the player's agent, Jan Van Baal, believes a loan move with a view to a permanent deal could be in the offing.[LNB]"If he leaves City would certainly want to get back a bit of their investment. He won't go for free," Van Baal told the Daily Mail. [LNB]"I could see a paid-for loan with an automatic option to buy. It's the fashionable solution, but that's for Manchester City to decide.[LNB]"There are some leads in the Premier League and abroad. He still has his admirers."[LNB]Van Baal admitted he has spoken to Marseille about a move and that a switch to the French champions would be appealing to Santa Cruz.[LNB]"I know that Marseille are interested and there have been a few discussions," added Van Baal.[LNB]"It is an interesting destination. They are in the Champions League and they have a manager who is established."
