Fernando Gago

Fernando Gago is so unhappy at Real Madrid that he cries at home and is now desperate to leave the club in order to attract national team coach Diego Maradona's attention, according to his agent.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been squeezed out this season following the arrival of new coach Manuel Pellegrini and playmaker Xabi Alonso, having worked hard to gain a regular place since joining the club in 2007.

Out of the Real Madrid side, Gago knows that he cannot be considered for Argentina's World Cup squad next summer. That has sparked rumours of a January exit.

Fiorentina have been linked with him, while a return to Boca Juniors on loan has also been mooted by the media in Spain and Argentina.

Gago's agent, Marcelo Lombilla, has revealed that his client would like to stay at Madrid if he was able to play.

"It's not a question of money, what Gago wants is match rhythm, because the World Cup is getting close and he wants Maradona to pick him for the squad," Lombilla was quoted as saying by Marca.

"It's no good to me to have a player who is not happy with his club. Gago is not playing. He stays at home crying."
