Fernando Gago is expected to be offloaded by Real Madrid this summer.
The forgotten Argentina midfielder has managed just three games this season due to injury and poor form.
Gago's situation has hit him hard, mentally, says AS, and he has struggled to cope with the lack of action he's seen over the last 12 months.
Manchester City failed with an €18 million offer for Gago in January and could return for the former Boca Juniors star this summer.
