Heinze To Replace Agger At Liverpool?

With Danish centre-back Daniel Agger thought to be subject to a bid from Milan, Liverpool have turned their attention to Real Madrid's Gabriel Heinze as a replacement...

According to a report in the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, Italian club AC Milan are interested in acquiring the services of Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger.

The Danish international, who has won 23 caps to date, only came into the starting XI this season following a posterior cruciate ligament injury to Martin Skrtel, meaning he has played six of the 15 Premier League games this campaign.

It is thought that contract negotiations between the 23-year-old and Liverpool have stalled after he asked for his £35,000-a-week wages to be doubled.

This has alerted Milan, who are in the market for a centre-back and they could make an €9.3 million bid as early as January - the Reds do not want to let him go for free when his contract expires in 18 months' time.

Liverpool could then turn their attentions to Real Madrid defender Gabriel Heinze.

Manchester United refused to sell the Argentine international to their Premier League rivals in 2007, but the Merseysiders could snap him up for €4.6 million as he has only featured in five league games for Los Merengues this term.
