Santa Cruz is keen on leaving the Etihad Stadium after falling down the pecking order at City.
“He has a contract with City until June 2013 and is available for what the club decides to do,” Santa Cruz’s father and agent, Aproniano, told Paraguayan newspaper ABC.
“They are looking for another club for him because Roque wants to go to another team where he can have more chances to play.
“There are teams interested, but if he was not injured there would be more teams.
“Roque is comfortable in Manchester and I would like an English team more (than a move abroad).”
Santa Cruz’s father has hinted that the striker could be interested in a move to Leeds United.
“The second division is very competitive in England, with powerful teams in huge stadiums,” said Aproniano.
“There are important teams like Leeds United, but his future will be decided by Manchester.”
