Santa Cruz blocks Lazio loan
Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz has rejected the chance to join Lazio on loan, according to the Italian club.
Santa Cruz is expected to leave City during the January transfer window but prefers a permanent move away from Eastlands.
"We take into account Santa Cruz's reaction and his desire to make any transfer permanent," Lazio president Claudio Lotito said.
"We are aware of this and consider it a wise decision for him."
