Super agent Wagner Ribeiro: I want to move Igor Gomes to Real Madrid

Super agent Wagner Ribeiro admits he'd like to move Sao Paulo star Igor Gomes to Real Madrid.

The 21 year-old midfielder has been likened to former Real ace Kaka.

"I've been working with Igor since he was 12 years old," Ribeiro told Fox Sports.

"He is on the radar of all the big clubs in Europe. He is a starter at São Paulo and he is a different sort of player. He has the kind of style they appreciate in Europe: he scores goals, starts moves, makes assists... he is a complete player.

"There has been talk that Madrid want him but I said it wasn't the right time to talk about that. But I do have the dream of one day taking him to the Bernabéu. I like Real Madrid as a club. If the opportunity arises, I would do it with pleasure."

Gomes is under contract at São Paulo until 2023 and has a minimum release clause of €50m.
