The family of Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz are excited about talk of a move to Real Madrid.

Santa Cruz's dad, Aproniano, claims the former Bayern Munich star, 27, is keen to move to a big club, but insists there has been no official approach from the Spanish giants.

He said: "There is nothing official from Real Madrid but it is logical that Roque is being linked to another club,

"If the chance appears and Blackburn agree to let him go I believe he would prefer to sign for a team who are fighting for the Champions League or a domestic title."
