I maybe miles off the mark here but it looks like signing his new contract seems to be a last resort.
Owen apparently was delighted with the appointment of Benitez yet with the arrival of Cisse and Baros finishing top scorer at the euros maybe he realises he won't be an automatic starter every game if fit.
I wouldn't be surprised if his agent has been asking around Italy and Spain looking for a buyer.
Juventus have been looking for a striker for awhile now and having sold di viao have cash to spend and could be ready to pounce.
Who knows like I said I could be miles off the mark and Owen will sign his contract tomorrow.
