Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz wants a permanent deal at Blackburn Rovers.
The Paraguayan is a popular figure with Blackburn fans and is keen to sign on a permanent basis once the season is over.
He said: "The loan ends this summer and I need to see how it goes, but once I finish here I will need to go back to City.
"Everyone knows that I am very happy at Blackburn, I have a lot of friends. I have enjoyed my time here so it would be a great thing for me if I could stay but it is up to the club and City so we need to see what will happen.
"As a player you expect and want to play and of course when you come to my age you want to enjoy the last bit of football that you have left.
"I don't want to spend the rest of my career not playing. So That is the main consideration for me."
