Boca Juniors vice-president Juan Carlos Crespi says a return to the club could be on for Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago.

Gago is desperate to leave Real this summer.

"He wants to come back, and there is a chance. If we don't at least ask Real Madrid about him, we would be fools. We must at least do that," he told Fox Sports.

"He could come here on a reduced salary. In fact he was on the point of coming earlier but the former president [Jorge Amor Ameal] said that he wanted him on a free transfer and the Spaniards went crazy.

"Who doesn't want Gago back at Boca? It would be a great solution."
