Roque Santa Cruz is finally poised to agree deal to leave Manchester City for German club Werder Bremen, it has been reported.
The 30-year-old last played for City two years ago and after failing to find a new club in England is ready to sign for Bremen, according to The Sun.
Santa Cruz had been desperate to stay in England but could not secure a contract despite rumours of interest from Queens Park Rangers, Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough.
The Paraguay striker has previously played in the Bundesliga, starting his European club career at Bayern Munich.
