Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago insists he's happy at AS Roma.

Gago has explained why he decided to leave Real Madrid in the summer and accept a loan move to Roma.

"It was a decision that I made at the last minute," the Argentine told Leggo.

"I was coming off the back of a difficult season at Real Madrid because of injury. [Roma director general] Franco Baldini then offered me this possibility and it seemed a good one.

"There is a new project here and the possibility to play football. I'm happy, this is a team for me, but my future depends on Roma."
