Blackburn have rejected a bid in excess of £12m from Manchester City for striker Roque Santa Cruz.
City manager Mark Hughes said he is still keen to sign the 27-year-old Paraguay international, who signed a new contract at Rovers in August.
"We made a bid in the region of £12m in the summer and it (the new bid) is significantly higher than that."
Hughes also confirmed that City have had bids for Craig Bellamy and Scott Parker rejected by West Ham. <!-- E SF -->
"It's documented that we made an enquiry about Bellamy as well (as Parker). We made a double bid and that was rejected - we haven't gone back to the table but we may well do." <!-- S IBOX --><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=231 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=5> To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater.

The City manager admitted that any deal for Santa Cruz rested on Blackburn being willing to negotiate. "We have made an improved bid, a substantial bid for Roque Santa Cruz but it was rejected," said Hughes.

"We still want to bring him to the club if we can but he is Blackburn's player and they don't want to deal at the level we have made a bid at. That is their prerogative." Santa Cruz signed a new four-year deal with Blackburn in the summer but he told BBC Radio 5 Live last month that he would leave the club if a "better or an ambitious club" came in for him.

I wouldn't turn down that offer myself, tbh.

And when there is no hope,
"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!"
When theres no enemies,
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
and in my ignorance,
I'll be a slave and sycophant!"
I think if Man City make a bid for anyone they will have to pay 2-8 million more than anyone else just because the clubs know they have it. I reckon 18m will be the price tag if they continue to bid.
Why don't they just pay it? At least they would be bringing in proven Premiership quality. No point just signing 'Galacticos'. Most of the biggest names won't want to go to City anyway.
