Manchester City Football Club are chasing Fernando Gago.

The midfield star is currently finding it difficult to force his way into the Real Madrid side on a regular basis, having made just three starts in La Liga this season.

This is a worrying statistic for the 23-year-old in World Cup year, when he is eager to appear for Diego Maradona’s Argentina in South Africa.

Reports in the Daily Mail claim Roberto Mancini has made Gago a target for his Eastlands revolution, although any bid may be placed on hold until the summer.

The Italian coach signed Patrick Vieira, 33, from Inter Milan last week, and with the other midfield options he has, he is believed to be looking to other areas of his team right now.
