With Newcastle United, Arsenal and Liverpool all connected recently with a move for Michael Owen, the Real Madrid striker has admitted that he could leave Madrid and return to England. It is the first time Owen has admitted that he may leave, having previously always stated that he was happy and contented with the Spanish Giants, but speaking to the Sun Newspaper, there seemed to be a change of heart from the striker:

"I spent many years in England. I did well and, perhaps, that's why I'm still talked about," stated Owen.

"If someone comes and tells me there is a club interested in me and that I have to go, then I will have to do that."

He then went on to talk about his time at Madrid and the lack of trophies for the Spanish side:

"I understand the way it is. A year without titles - then another after that. That's not for Real Madrid."

"The president Florentino Perez and the management will decide which players have to leave and which will come.

"It's the same at Real Madrid as other clubs."
