Heinze To Palace Then To Liverpool?????

Gabriel Heinze's representatives tried to bypass Man Utd's block on the player moving to Liverpool by engineering a transfer to Crystal Palace 1st.

Under the proposal made to Palace, the Argentina defender could have 1st been bought by the south London club and then sold on to Liverpool.

The bid was said in evidence given to a Premier League panel earlier this week by Palace chief exec Phil Alexander.

It is understood Alexander said to the panel that a proposed scheme was put forward by Heinze's representatives to secure the eventual transfer of the defender to Liverpool by initially transferring him to Palace.

The panel went on to reject Heinze's bid to force United to sell him to Liverpool.

The 29 year old claimed United had written a letter allowing him to leave if another club offered a fee of £6.8 million.

The panel dismissed Heinze's case and backed United, who preserved they made it clear to the 29 year old both verbally and in writing that he would not be permitted to join one of their title rivals.

Heinze is appealing against the panel's decision however it now seems if he is intent on leaving United before the transfer window closes he must move abroad, even though The Hammers would match his wage demands and are watching with interest to see the outcome of his appeal.

Real Madrid were linked with Heinze, whilst French club Lyon are also keen on signing the player, who has become unsettled after losing his United 1st team place to Patrice Evra.

 

Going To Real Madrid

<p class="ss-text-bold">Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze. </p>

</p>

The Spanish champions have been strongly linked with the Argentine, who had been hoping to join Liverpool, in recent weeks. </p>

Following a Premier League panel's decision to block the player's move to Anfield, Real have now stepped in with an offer. </p>

Real have confirmed their bid has been accepted by United and Heinze will sign a four-year contract at the Bernabeu. </p>

Heinze is expected to arrive in Madrid on Thursday to undergo a medical before being confirmed as a Real player. </p>

</p><h4>Favourite</h4>

</p>

The versatile stopper joined United from Paris Saint Germain three years ago and quickly established himself as a fans' favourite. </p>

But he was second-choice left-back behind Patrice Evra last season and had been given permission by United to leave for a suitable club over the summer. </p>

The Red Devils were unwilling to sanction a switch to Liverpool, prompting the Premier League to look into the matter. </p>

A panel ruled on Tuesday that the champions were within their rights to refuse Liverpool's offer for Heinze, while there were claims that the player's agents wanted to engineer a move to Rafa Benitez's side via Crystal Palace.</p>

 

RE: Going To Real Madrid

Dunno why Liverpool wanted him , unless it was as back-up centre half.
