A Name to Remember: Fernando Gago

By: Bob | October 5th, 2006

When you have FC Barcelona and Real Madrid both chasing after your services you have to be a player with a wee bit of skills. That is the case with Fernando Gago, a 20-year-old midfielder who currently earns his paycheck from Boca Juniors.

Gago made his debut with the Argentine giants at the tender age of 17 and furthered his name with a standout performance for Argentina at the World Youth Championship. He has drawn comparisons to former Real Madrid star Fernando Redondo.

Gago, who was linked to Chelsea about this time last year, is likely to make his move to Europe sooner rather than later. I expect the sweet dribbling midfielder to end up at Real, but whatever team lands him is going to acquire a player with the star potential.

There is not much in the way of video of Fernando Gago out there, but below are a few sweet moves.

  For soem football experts in Argentina, Gago is the next big thing… much more than Messi, Aguero o Tevez. Gaago is not so good at the Real right now, but you will see him in a good lay soon.
  He is a midfield player that also can be a scorer, and/or play like a striker. He is a real promise… not like messi… messi is only marketing… gago is pure talent.

  Thanks.

  Messi is great ! and so is Gago. They both will play different roles for the 2010 world cup champions Argentina. It is becoming very clear that Argentina has more young talent than any other nation. World Cup champs 2010 and 2014. Team leaders Gago, Messi, Aguero, Hugain, Maxi rodriguez. This team will be loaded.
