Kop plan £5m Heinze swoop
June 30, 2007
RAFA BENITEZ is planning a shock raid for Manchester United’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 fans
’ player of the season.
He battled back from damaged knee ligaments to play a crucial part in last
season’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 Ferguson’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 Benitez’ reign. |
