Or not. (Heinze saga ends)

Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Gabriel Heinze.

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

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

Real have confirmed their bid has been accepted by Heinze's club and he will sign a four-year contract at the Bernabeu.

Heinze loses bid for Anfield move, will fight on

Gabriel Heinze has lost his attempt to force a move to Liverpool.

His club disputed claims from Heinze, 29, who said they gave him written permission to pursue a transfer to another club for a fee of £6.8m. But a Premier League arbitration panel concluded that the permission 'was unambiguous in that it envisages only an international transfer'.

Heinze insists he will continue fight the Premier League's decision.

"My fight is for freedom to negotiate with any club," Heinze told the Daily Mail.

No Heinze Decision (Today)

Heinze attended a Premier League arbitration hearing today, which was also attended by manager Sir Alex Ferguson and chief executive David Gill.

Heinze wants a move to Liverpool, but his current club have refused to allow him to leave. The current club maintain they always said Heinze could leave for around £6.8million - but only to a club they were happy with, whilst the Argentine thinks he should be allowed to decide his own future - which would mean a move to Anfield.

Heinze may fight for Anfield move

Gabriel Heinze will have to defy Sir Alex Ferguson to secure a £7m move from his current club to Liverpool.

Liverpool have met the fee that would secure the 29-year-old Argentine defender's release - stated in a letter from the club to Heinze's agent.

Ferguson, however, has insisted Heinze would not be sold to their arch-rivals.

But BBC Sport understands the letter does not preclude Liverpool from buying Heinze, and he could fight his current club to secure a switch to Anfield.
