Owen reveals Prem talks
Michael Owen has confirmed he has held talks with a number of Premiership clubs.
The Real Madrid striker has been strongly linked with a move back to England in recent days, after the Spanish giants concluded deals for Robinho and Julio Baptista.
Owen himself now realises he is potentially fifth choice striker at El Santiago Bernabeu despite an impressive haul of 13 goals last season.
Manchester United are reported to be leading the chase, although the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham, Birmingham, Arsenal, and his former club Liverpool are all thought to be interested - although the latter two have denied that they will make an offer.
In a statement, Owen said: "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 advisors 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.
"With the knowledge of Real Madrid, there has been brief dialogue with three or four Premiership clubs although no formal negotiations of any kind have taken place."
Owen, who is likely to cost in excess of 15 million, now looks destined for a move back to The Premiership after just one season in Spain.
