The agent of Fernando Gago is flying to Spain next week for crunch talks with Real Madrid.
El Mundo Deportivo says Manchester City, Boca Juniors and Juventus are all chasing the Argentina international.
Marcelo Lombilla said: "For Gago, money does not matter, he just wants to play. I will go to Madrid to find out the official version of their plans and to see if a move is possible in January."
