Italians To Throw Owen A Lifeline?

Last updated : 07 June 2009 By Footy Mad - Editor

Owen's availability on a free transfer from the end of this month, has lifted him towards the top of their list of targets.

Everton have a long-term interest in Owen, and the striker would be willing to take a massive cut in his current £100,000-plus weekly salary to join the club he supported as a kid.

But be warned ... this report comes from the same source that claims Milan duo AC and Inter, along with Genoa, also have an interest in the player.

When we know full well Jose Mourinho said recently: "Owen is a shadow of what he was."

So that suggests the Inter link is bullshit ... as is the rest of the article if you ask me.

But the paper claims: "Owen's reputation across Europe has survived Newcastle's relegation - but Roma look the most likely foreign destination for a player who has not given up on winning a recall to the England squad ahead of next summer's World Cup."
