Out-of-favour Real midfielder Fernando Gago is looking for a way out of the Santiago Bernabeu after growing frustrated at a lack of first team opportunities.

The Argentina international is thought to be interesting Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini and Gago's agent has suggested that a deal could be struck if any interested party can meet Real's asking price.

Agent Marcelo Lombilla said: The subject is not yet closed.

"We want to speak again with (Real director general) Jorge Valdano and perhaps then the situation will change."

Gago, who is growing anxious ahead of the World Cup finals in the summer, believes the situation with the Spanish giants has become untenable and he said: "I want to play and that has become impossible at Real."
