DEAL READY FOR OWEN TO RETURN TO LIVERPOOL
DEAL READY FOR OWEN TO RETURN TO LIVERPOOL
The Telegraph 27 August 2005
Michael Owen is expected to open negotiations with Liverpool officials early next week that will pave the way for an emotional return to Anfield and also ensure that Newcastle intensify their efforts to recruit Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt.
Liverpool's chief executive, Rick Parry, will fly out to Madrid with a view to swiftly completing a deal for the England striker - believed to be in the region of 11 million before the summer transfer window closes next Wednesday.
Owen, 25, had expressed his desire to move back to Liverpool after a one-year stay at the Bernabeu, and his wish now seems set to be granted, much to the disappointment of Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd, who agreed a 16 million deal for Owen with Real Madrid earlier this week.
Owen, who had stated that he would only consider joining Newcastle on loan if a move to Merseyside failed to materialise, will have time on his hands to finalise his return to Liverpool because he will join up with the England party late due to his suspension from next Saturday's Wales game.
As Owen was looking increasingly likely to snub the lucrative overtures of St James' Park, Newcastle manager Graeme Souness admitted yesterday morning that his club had entered the race for Feyenoord forward Kuyt, 25, who had also attracted interest from Tottenham and Everton.
"We have shown an interest in him, we have made an inquiry," Souness said. "He has the most incredible scoring record in Dutch football. Many people have described him as a young Alan Shearer, but whether that's true or not I don't know."
