Real Madrid misfit loaned to Roma with view to permanent move
Roma have confirmed the loan signing of Argentina midfielder Fernando Gago from Real Madrid.
The Serie A outfit were closing in on the player despite interest from English clubs, while the 25-year-old was also linked with a move to Palermo this summer.
But Roma have now won the race to sign Gago, whose move could be made permanent next summer with the Serie A outfit having an option to buy the South American for six million euros (£5.3m).
Gago joined Real Madrid from Boca Juniors in January 2007 but struggled to secure regular first-team action in the past two seasons.
