FERNANDO GAGO BIOGRAPHY |
| |
 |
Fernando Rubén Gago was born in April 10, 1986
in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires. He is an Argentine
football midfielder, who plays for La Liga club
Real Madrid.
Gago, who came from the youth divisions of Boca
Juniors, made his professional debut with Boca
in the 1–0 victory over Quilmes, on December 5,
2004 aged just seventeen. Despite his youth he
quickly became an essential part of the Boca
Juniors' midfield, and is considered a quality
player, often compared with fellow countryman
Fernando Redondo. His solid performance
attracted Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid,
and FC Barcelona.
On Wednesday, November 15, Real Madrid President
Ramon Calderon confirmed the signings of Gago as
well as compatriot Higuaín , and puts through a
policy of signing younger players to gradually
replace the older stars in the squad. However,
news later put reports of Higuain's departure to
Real Madrid to rest as River Plate rejected a 10
million euro bid for the striker stating they
would prefer him remain until at least June
2007. During the 2006 South American transfer
saga, Gago's name was also linked with AC Milan.
However, Ariedo Braida, Milan's top transfer
guru recently said that, "They (Gago and Higuaín)
only want to go to Real Madrid". The transfer
was finally transfered agreed on December 19,
for 20,400,000 euro. Many football pundits
have given rise to speculation that Gago might
turn into another flop at Madrid due to his lack
of knowledge about the scope of development at
Madrid. With his potential there is still
promise that he will eventually cement his place
in future Madrid first team lineups as he
replaces their aging midfielders. |
