Owen set to complete Liverpool Football Club exit 13:08 8/13/2004</EM> http://www.fansfc.com/images/spacer.gif Michael Owen will undergo a medical in Madrid today (Friday) before rubber-stamping his exit from Liverpool Football Club. http://www.fansfc.com/images/spacer.gif Mail The Liverpool Journo Leave A Comment On Our Message Board Send This Article To A Friend http://www.fansfc.com/images/spacer.gif The English international will complete a sensational move to Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants paying the Reds Ј8million and giving them Antonio Nunez as part of the deal. 25-year-old midfielder Nunez remains something of an unknown quantity, yet his agent Jose Antonio Martin Perton insists the player was already a target for Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez. "Yes, it's true, we are talking to Liverpool,” said Perton. "It's going really well and we hope to have the deal closed in a few hours. Even if Owen hadn't happened we were pushing for a move. We have been talking with Benitez for quite a long time, for around a month.” Despite their interest in Nunez, his inclusion in the deal has only just come about because of Real’s interest in Owen – who they were only willing to initially pay Ј4million for. |
