Rafa Benitez is believed to be considering a move for
Celta Vigo's Diego Placente if Liverpool fail in attempts to sign
Gabriel Heinze.
The Reds are waiting on further developments in the Heinze saga,
which is likely to step up a pace next week when the Argentinian
returns to Old Trafford for pre-season training.
It could be a long drawn out affair if Manchester United stick by
their original stance of insisting Heinze won't be allowed to move
to Anfield, leaving Liverpool thinking about possible
alternatives.
Heinze's fellow Argentinian Placente is one option, with Benitez
understood to be a big fan of the former Bayer Leverkusen
defender.
The 30-year-old, who has played against the Reds in the Champions
League, is understood to be seeking a move after Celta Vigo's
relegation from La Liga.
