Kop plan £5m Heinze swoop
-
RAFA BENITEZ is planning a shock raid for Manchester UnitedÂ’s Gabriel Heinze.
Argentine left-back Heinze looked poised for a £5million move to Juventus. But Liverpool boss Benitez is set to hijack the deal.
Heinze, 29, said: “I know some clubs are interested in me. My head is with the Argentina team to play the Copa America.
“After that and a holiday, I will know better where I will play next season.”
Juve appeared to have beaten off Real Madrid, Barcelona and Milan to sign Heinze.
The defender is a cult figure at United and two years ago was voted the fansÂ’ player of the season.
He battled back from damaged knee ligaments to play a crucial part in last seasonÂ’s march to the title, skippering the side on the final day when they were presented with the trophy.
But his position at Old Trafford has remained in doubt and Patrice Evra is Alex FergusonÂ’s first choice left-back.
Clearly Fergie would prefer to sell to a foreign side, rather than a major domestic rival.
But if Benitez is prepared to cough up the cash, he has every chance of pulling off another coup after agreeing a £27m club-record swoop for Atletico Madrid hitman Fernando Torres.
It is one area where Liverpool have looked decidedly weak at times, with John Arne Riise not the best defensive left-back.
Fabio Aurelio, Alvaro Arbeloa, Stephen Warnock and Djimi Traore have all been used there during BenitezÂ’ reign.
