Barcelona aim to trump Real Madrid for Gago
October 05, 2006

Barcelona have made a cheeky move for Boca Juniors starlet Fernando Gago.

Real Madrid director Franco Baldini is travelling to Buenos Aries to open talks with Boca for the exciting midfield talent.

However, after news broke yesterday of Real's intentions, Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain met with Boca president Mauricio Macri in the afternoon and asked about Gago's availability. Begiristain and Barca president Joan Laporta are in Argentina this week to launch their junior development partnership with Arsenal.

Begiristain will be in Argentina until Sunday, when he intends to watch Gago in action against River Plate. Baldini is also expected to be at the big match.

Of course, Barca always do that.....they're so afraid we beat them that they try to beat us even before the games started, I'm sure they aren't really interested on him, just like Masherano or Becks....

well if we get Gago, and barca has Messi, and A.Madrid has Aguero
Valencia just needs to get some one, and then boom La Liga on top for sure

For four kids?? Nah I don't think so.....besides Spanish league is already on top, just remember we have (had) Dinho, Ruud, Ronaldo, Becks, Deco, Riquelme, Zizou, Raul.....I don't think Serie A or Premiership has the same class, don't get me wrong, of course they're pretty strong, but La Liga is still better....

Gago agent prefers Real Madrid over Barcelona
October 10, 2006

The agent of Boca Juniors midfielder Fernando Gago would prefer to see the youngster play for Real Madrid than Barcelona.
Both Spanish giants have been linked with the youngster, whose agent Marcelo Lombilla said: "People saying you can play for either Barcelona or Real Madrid is just like saying you can go to Disneyland.

"But Madrid is a great club and the `White House' is the great dream of any player."
