Manchester City Football Club face competition in their quest to sign Fernando Gago.

The Blues tried to sign the Argentina international in the winter, but it was a case of too little too late when they made their move on the final day of the transfer window.

This angered Real Madrid but Roberto Mancini is hoping the Spanish giants will have calmed down in the summer, when he is planning to make another move for the midfielder.

However, the ambitious Premier League side will face competition from Villarreal, with Cadena SER claiming the La Liga outfit are keen to keep Gago in Spain.
