"Gaby's agent has advised us that he wants to move on," Ferguson was quoted saying on the Skysports.com website.

Heinze was hired by Manchester in 2004 but lost his interest in the Red Devils after losing his regular place last season to France international Patrice Evra.

"I am not too sure about that and we do not have a concrete offer from any particular club.

"But there is some momentum regarding the player's next move in terms of through his agent, even if nothing is close at this moment in time."

The Argentinean has been linked with Liverpool, Newcastle United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Although he seems very close to the Madrid Giants who are hoping to lure him especially after Roberto Carlos joined Fenerbahce.
