Baines was released as a teenager by
Liverpool
The paper claims United have offered Real Madrid and
Juventus the chance to sign Heinze in a bid to stop him moving to
Anfield, while Gill has moved to clarify the issue of "the famous
letter".
He said: "I wrote to Heinze and his agent to give them an
indication of what value we require for, effectively, an overseas
transfer. "If there is overseas interest and the valuation is
right, I can see him moving on."
Several of Sunday's tabloids believe Wigan's Leighton Baines could
be the unlikely beneficiary of the row, no matter where Heinze's
future lies.
Baines snubbed the chance to join Sunderland in a £6million move
recently as his camp apparently believe he can shine at a higher
level.
And he could now get the opportunity as Liverpool and United are
reported to be keen on the England Under-21 man and are planning
moves - if necessary - once Heinze's situation is clarified.
