Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz is on the verge of signing for Manchester City, Vital MC understands.
Mark Hughes signed the 6’2′ Paraguayan international last year while he was the boss at Ewood Park, and is widely known to be a keen admirer of the 26-year-old.
The Manchester City manager gave executive chairman Garry Cook his list of wanted players when they were in Hamburg for the weekend friendly and Santa Cruz was believed to be high on Sparky’s wish list.
Figures being banded suggest City will have to offer Rovers in the region of £8m to tempt Paul Ince into letting his prize forward leave the Lancashire club.
