Aston Villa in Real Madrid contact for Gago

Aston Villa are interested in Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago.

The Argentina international is available from Real after falling off the first team map since Jose Mourinho's arrival.

Cadena Ser says Villa have sounded out Real about a price for Gago.

At 25, Gago's signing would fit what Villa owner Randy Lerner wants to see from their incoming transfers.
