Speaking at the unveiling of his new contract with Umbro, which gives him £1 million per year for the next fifteen years Owen displayed all the loyalty of Alan Smith.
"We'll sort something out this summer one way or another. We've still got to talk about things, but as I stand there are no problems. I'm still here this year and another, so I'm still under contract. But I won't just up and leave on a Bosman. We've entered discussions and the first set is about where the club is going. It's never been about money but I want to win things."
"It looks like we are the favourites for the Champions League place. But I wouldn't have said at the start of the year that making the Champions League is a great achievement. We had our sights higher than that. In that, I'm not talking differently to the manager or Steven Gerrard or other players. I don't want to settle for fourth. If we get the right result against Newcastle we'll celebrate it with a drink but that's not a good season. We've done some good work over recent years and that's not gone to waste but we still need to take two steps forward next season."
OWEN 'TROPHIES OR I'M OFF'
Michael Owen's Liverpool career could well end within months after he declared he would prefer to be sold this summer than leave on a Bosman in 2005.
