The striker seems certain to move on from the Bernabeu this summer, following crunch talks with Real president Florentino Perez on Tuesday, and he admitted it would likely be a straight fight between Liverpool and Newcastle for his signature. "Newcastle United have met Real Madrid's asking price and conditions," a statement on the club's website read. "The agreed fee will be a record transfer fee for Newcastle United. "It is now up to the player and his advisor."
I think Owen should be playing regularly in a World Cup year and I believe he should move back to England. Real will be making a great profit in this deal if it does go through because they only paid £8million and Antonio Nunez to Liverpool last summer and Nunez isn't really a great player. I think Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez should seriously consider buying Owen after the sale of Milan Baros to Aston Villa, But whoever Owen ends up with I'm sure he will have a great season.
As some of you may now I ran a poll a while ago about Michael Owen's future and what club would he be at come the end of August, here are the results:
Real Madrid=4 Votes.
Man united=1 Vote.
Newcastle=1 Vote.
Liverpool=8 Votes.
Other=4 Votes.
By the way my readers I recently had an interview with a fellow blogger of mine, Football Commentator, about Irish football. Click here to read it.
