Gago hints at Boca Juniors return

Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago has expressed his desire to return to Boca Juniors in the summer transfer window.

The Argentine international joined Roma on a season-long loan from Real Madrid last summer with an option to buy, but the Giallorossi appear to be unwilling to make the transfer permanent.

A return to Santiago Bernabeu doesn’t look likely either, and the player is now actively searching for a new club.

Asked whether he would prefer to remain at Roma or return to Real Madrid, Gago gave a very interesting answer.

“Roma or Real Madrid? To tell the truth, I’d like to go back to wearing the Boca Juniors shirt alongside Riquelme!,” the midfielder told Fox Sport Radio.

Gago came through the youth ranks at Boca Juniors and went on to play 70 league games for the senior side before moving to Real Madrid in 2007.

The holding midfielder never quite managed to prove his worth at Santiago Bernabeu and could now return to Boca, a team that are on the road to make this season one of the most successful ever.
