Owen Confirms Prem Talks Michael Owen has admitted talking with "three or four" Premiership clubs amid reports he wants to return to England. The 25-year-old striker's position at Real Madrid has been put in doubt since the arrivals of Brazilian duo Julio Baptista and Robinho at the Bernabeu. Newcastle have confirmed their interest in Owen while Manchester United have been linked with the England forward. Owen said: "With Real's knowledge there's been brief dialogue although no formal negotiations have taken place." He added: "During my four days off, there have been two big signings confirmed by the club and I can understand why this has resulted in speculation about my future. "Real Madrid contacted my advisers over the weekend and explained that they wanted me to stay but that they would not stand in my way if the right opportunity arose for me to return to the Premiership." Newcastle manager Graeme Souness is desperately in need of a new striker and would relish the chance of bringing Owen to Tyneside.
Sven's said that in a perfect world that Owen would move to Man Utd to partner Rooney at club level. Think that more or less says deal over if Man Utd want him what sven says seems to go people move or stay if he says that its ok.
