Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are battling for Manchester United defender Gaby Heinze.

Heinze, 29, will sort out his future after the Copa America next month.

The Argie's representatives believe United will let him go for £5million with Patrice Evra ahead of him in the pecking order.

Heinze said: "When the internationals are over we'll see where I will play. I don't know if I'll play for Madrid or Barcelona."

Heinze was in Madrid last week for talks about replacing Brazil legend Roberto Carlos.

His brother and advisor Sebastian said: "As well as Real Madrid there are other teams showing interest in Gabriel, like Barcelona and Juventus in Italy."
