Lazio reach agreement over Manchester City Striker Roque Santa Cruz
It has been reported that the Italian side Lazio have finally reached an agreement to sign Manchester City’s want away striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roque-Santa-Cruz-c31778 on a loan deal at the turn of the year.
Santa Cruz, has often left to wonder just what his purpose is in the City side, since he has hardly seen any field time for the team and is often found to be one of the big names warming the benches at the Eastlands.
However with the emergence of new reports, it appears that the player's nightmare stay at the Manchester based club might finally be nearing an end, as Lazio are willing to pay a small fee to lure the striker to Italy and offer him all the playing time that
he could wish for.
According to these same sources, it is reported that the Serie A side are willing to pay a loan fee of three hundred thousand Euros, but the contract will also include a clause, which would see the player become a permanent member of the Lazio side at the
end of the season for three million Euros.
Over the course of the last eighteen months, it has been quite unclear as to whether Santa Cruz has completely lost his form, or whether City are just being cruel to him and willing to let him rot on their benches. What makes it stranger is the fact that
the team already paid out of their noses for him in the first place.
The 29-year-old has not really had any chance to prove himself to the City side, so it is still a giant leap in the dark to say that he has dropped in form. However, it is safe to say that City will suffer another major loss if the player does become a permanent
member of the Lazio team since the Blues initially paid almost eighteen million pounds to land the player in the first place and are now willing to let him go for nearly six times less.
Nonetheless, Santa Cruz can prove to be just what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 need to push up on AC Milan and try to secure the Italian League crown. If the team manage to do just that, then they would have also secured one of the biggest bargains of the season as well.
