Real Betis are being linked with a move for Bayern Munich striker Roque Santa Cruz.
The want-away striker is seeking to leave Bayern and Betis are reported to be leading the chase for his signature.
The Paraguay international is keen to leave Bayern Munich this summer after failing to win a regular place in Ottmar Hitzfeld's struggling outfit and, according to Spanish paper AS, Betis are ready to table a ‚é¼3million offer for the 25-year-old.
Bayern face a massive squad overhaul as they look certain to miss out on a place in the UEFA Champions League following Saturday's 2-0 loss at Stuttgart and Hitzfeld has already hinted that he is ready to grant Santa Cruz's wish to leave the Allianz-Arena this summer after an eight-year spell.
Meanwhile, Betis midfielder Arzu is set to miss the rest of the season through injury.
Arzu picked up an ankle injury in the weekend draw with Espanyol and Betis fear the player will be sidelined for the final few weeks of the campaign.
