Schuster Toys With Gago-Tiago Swap Idea?
Fernando Gago to Juventus and Tiago to Real Madrid - a loan swap could be on the cards...
Fernando Gago may be on the way out of Real Madrid in the long-term, starting with a loan switch.
Sport.es suggested this week that coach Bernd Schuster was fast losing patience with the young Argentine, who has yet to truly shine since arriving from Boca Juniors last January.
In the meantime, another defensive midfielder - Tiago - is toiling away at Juventus to little effect.
There's no talk of a mutual loan swap, with the Portuguese international moving to Madrid in order to steel the squad for the second half of the season.
While Tiago has largely underperformed since arriving in Turin from Lyon in the summer, he has European pedigree and would thus suit a Champions League challenge from the Madrid side.
For Gago, any move would give him a chance to reignite what is increasingly looking like a stalled career.
But for now, it remains paper talk.
