Latics tried for Owen
Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has confirmed the club tried to sign Michael Owen.
Reports last week suggested the Premiership new boys had made an audacious bid to land the England international from Real Madrid.
Owen spoke to The Latics before opting to return to The Premiership with Newcastle United, who spent a club record 16 million on the striker.
The Latics had been desperate to secure a new forward before the transfer deadline and Owen was among the targets for Paul Jewell.
Though Owen snubbed the chance to move to The JJB Stadium, he called Whelan to offer his gratitude for Wigan's interest.
Whelan was delighted to be able to speak to the former Liverpool ace and insists the plan to sign Owen was not merely a publicity stunt.
"Michael rang to say thanks for trying to sign him," said Whelan.
"He joined Newcastle but we did everything in our power to try to bring him to The JJB Stadium.
"Ringing up was a wonderful gesture. He made time to speak to me once he made it clear he was going to Tyneside.
"Our move was not a publicity stunt. I was even prepared to put a clause in that would allow him to move at Christmas."
