MICHAEL OWEN has run out of patience at Real Madrid and is ready to come home. http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/mediawatch/drilldown/MW8578050716-0802.htm ------------- The England striker's advisers have made inquiries to gauge the level of interest at Manchester United and Liverpool, Mirror Sport can reveal. Owen, 25, has tired of playing second fiddle to Ronaldo in Spain. And with Real set to sign at least one more forward over the summer, his opportunities next season will again be limited. Newcastle and Blackburn have already stepped in with offers, but were dismissed out of hand by Owen, who has made it known he is interested only in Old Trafford or Anfield. It emerged yesterday that Liverpool were thinking over the prospect of a loan deal for the player they sold in August for ￡8m. The idea is being driven by the Anfield board, but it appears manager Rafael Benitez is not particularly keen, and would prefer to press ahead with attempts to sign Southampton striker Peter Crouch. And Madrid may take some persuading to loan out a player they could use in part-exchange as they pursue another frontman. Real would prefer to sell rather than loan, and have set Owen's price at the ￡18m. That is more than Liverpool could pay, leaving Owen's best hope of a return home seeming to rest with Manchester United, who expressed some interest. But with Sir Alex Ferguson chasing a top-class midfielder, Owen's asking price may be a stumbling block. United might be forced to splash out on the sort of player Ferguson is after. Michael Ballack is available from Bayern Munich, and while he has only a year left on his contract, he could still cost close to ￡15m. If that is the case, it would rule out a massive bid for Owen. But if Real can be talked into cutting their price and Ferguson is able to secure a central midfielder for a reasonable figure, United would definitely be interested in Owen. Madrid may be open to a swap deal involving Ruud van Nistelrooy, who would be allowed to leave Old Trafford if the finances worked out. Cash plus Owen in exchange for the Holland striker would be likely to clinch the deal for Real. Now Owen has made his position clear, there could be some serious negotiations over the next few weeks. Owen is expected to speak to Madrid president Florentino Perez during the club's tour of America, which got under way yesterday. Luis Figo will also be heading to England, after finally persuading Real to allow him to go to Liverpool on a free. The deal had stalled after Madrid initially demanded a ￡2m transfer fee. --------------------------------- 苦闷欧文寻求尽快离开皇马 金童新驿站瞄准英超双雄 http://sports.sina.com.cn/g/p/2005-07-16/18031669316.shtml ------------ 新浪体育讯　虽然欧文随同皇马开始环球拉练表演，但他在球队中的位置并不稳固，周六 ，英国媒体纷纷报道称，欧文离开皇马的可能进一步增大，而他将来的驿站将在曼联和 利物浦队当中产生。 　　英国《每日镜报》披露欧文的经纪人近来正和曼联以及利物浦进行接触，欧文现在不 愿意继续在皇马无休止的担任替补下去，如果下赛季引进罗比尼奥，那麽欧文的机会将进 一步减少。 　　欧文此前表示，他只会接受来自英超豪门俱乐部的邀请，因此纽卡斯尔和布莱克本的 邀请已经被拒绝。现在看来，欧文的去向将主要集中在利物浦和曼联身上，利物浦提出了 租借方案，但被皇马拒绝。 　　不过欧文现在的身价是1800万英镑，对於曼联来说，价格过高，弗格森希望得到一名 超级前卫，合同和拜仁只有最後一年的巴拉克身价是1500万英镑，因此这意味老特拉福德 也有可能错过欧文。 　　不过皇马提出了用范尼来交换欧文的说法，在接下来的一周内，双方会有更多更严肃 的接触。不过对欧文来说，返回利物浦的最大阻力来自贝尼特斯，西班牙主帅更希望得到 高中锋克罗奇而并非欧文，穿上红军球衣返回安菲尔德，对欧文来说这是一个难以实现的 梦。(湖底苍月) -- 就情感方面,真的希望他回来...... 不过就目前红军的编制与贝帅的战术, Crouch才是贝帅想要的... 要买的话也没这笔钱, 8m卖出 现在再用18m买回来我们也太凯了..... 要让他回来就只能希望能用租的吧... 拜托欧文不要去英超其他队伍啊 会不忍心看他跟利物浦对打 --
