Fernando Gago

Jorge Valdano, Real Madrid’s sporting director criticized Manchester City for the rumour from the transfer market viewing Fernando Gago’s move to Premier League.

“Manchester City had nothing prepared, not even one document signed. The English club had not reached an agreement with the player and they would have needed to do everything in 40 minutes.”

The midfielder’s agent, Marcello Lombilla, told that the club from Manchester has used them. “This has never happened to me before. I don’t want to talk about the figures that City were offering because they approached Madrid without even knowing there wasn’t physically enough time to put something together.”, he said.

Gago played 76 matches for Real Madrid and scored only a goal since 2007.

Roberto Mancini, the manager of City said on the club’s official webpage (mcfc.co.uk) that he is “delighted that Adam has chosen to come here. He is a very good player with fantastic potential, and as a club we are always keen to sign British talent.”

The former player of Boro said that there are many reasons for the move, but the main reasons is that he wants to be a better than ever. “I’m glad to be signed and ready to go. There are a lot of reasons for the move. City are a club going places and they are doing very well. I wanted to come and try to better myself instead of staying in my comfort zone at Middlesbrough. I want to be the best player I can possibly be and I think that is going to be the case coming to City and playing with world-class players. When a big club comes in for you life’s too short to turn down an opportunity like this. I was wanting it to happen quite badly and I’m dying to get started now”, said the player.
