Michael Owen's management company have compiled a brochure on the striker in a bid to win him a move back to the Barclays Premier League.
Wasserman Media Group has sent the document, which highlights the strengths of the former Liverpool man over a reported 34 pages, to a select group of top-flight clubs.
Sam Rush, chief operating officer of WMG, told Sunday Mirror Sport: "As one of the world's leading sports agencies, Wasserman regularly utilise comprehensive documentation and audio-visual material to illustrate the benefits of our clients."
He added: "Although there has been interest from abroad, Michael has told us that he would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
"In the week after the season ended, we prepared a document showing all the information an interested club would require and this was circulated to a select group.
"We also included a medical report and answers to frequently asked questions as well as a review of his commercial benefits and international name awareness."
Owen has struggled with injury since joining Newcastle from Real Madrid in 2005 and has fallen out of the England frame.
The 29-year-old is out of contract this summer and, following Newcastle's relegation from the Premier League, is looking for a transfer to revive his flagging career.

Owen is still a great football player, the Real Madrid managers ruined him because they understand nothing about football, they just collect football cards. C. Ronaldo and Kaką will end the same.
Go Golden Boy you are still the best!
Not sure why sr. melvin but no mackem seems to have corrected you. They actually gained 15 points in their record breaking season.
sr.melvin:
Chump? Me? S(hit)r(asta)m(aladjusted)elv(is)in(Vegas).
See I can do that too. Does that make me clever like you? OOPS SORRY UPPER CASE ONLY.
Are there going to be adverts for his medical team in this brochure?
KEVIN P ( RICK ). YOU CHUMP.
GET THIS RUBBISH OFF OUR SITE..owen isn't a toon player anymore. never was. greedy mercenary. disgrace of the highest order. excuses this. excuses that. injured due to his lack of inner strength. not a real man like shearer. MACKEMS HATE SHEARER BECAUSE HE WAS A GREAT PLAYER.. sunderland HAVE NEVER PRODUCED A GREAT PLAYER SINCE THE DAYS OF LEATHER LACE UP FOOTBALLS. STOP COMING TO NEWCASTLE FOR YOUR NIGHTS OUT YOU UN WASHED SCUM BAGS. sunderland IS A BIO HAZARD
safcalsftm. EASIER TO JUST STAY IN UPPER CASE. MICK MCCARTHY 19 POINTS. PAIN. HUMILIATION. TRUE REFLECTION OF safc's TRUE VALUE TO FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND. CONSORTIUM PUMPED 10'S MILLIONS INTO THE CLUB. ONLY AVOIDED RELEGATION BY THE FINEST OF MARGINS. GIVING IT LARGE. OBVIOUSLY SO RELIEVED IT WASN'T THEM THAT WENT DOWN... FUNNY REALLY. DESPITE THEIR EPL STATUS. IT'S STILL THE TOON THAT GETS ALL OF THE MEDIA ATTENTION. YES, I KNOW, BAD MEDIA ATTENTION, BUT NOBODY GIVES A RATS@SS ABOUT LITTLE SLUM DERLAND. SUNDERLAND HAVE A STADIUM WITH AN ILL THOUGHT OUT AND MASSIVELY STUPID, UN ORIGINAL NAME. JOKER PARK. STADIUM OF LIGHT. HOME FOR STUPIDS BOTH. WE'LL BE BACK EVEN STRONGER. ENJOY YOUR SEASON. BY THE WAY. GREAT LYRICS. BUT NOT SO LONG AGO IT WAS YOU CHUMPS WHO WERE VISITING THESE PLACES. WE WERE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. BARCELONA. MILAN ETC ETC. SHUT ALL OF YOUR YIBBA YABBA FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think a few clubs might look at a pay as you play deal if he wishes to stay in the prem that will be about the best deal he will get
otherwise he best get Becks to get him an american league contract
Im not sure you could get rid of Owen at a car boot sale these days, after the way he performed for NUFC. I know injuries arnt his fault but he didnt exactly show that he'd die for the cause last season did he, even when he was fit. Lets face it our club financed his future horse racing stable, and got no-where near the return it deserved from the deal. No-one wanted him when he left Real Madrid and like the muppets we are at Newcastle we still paid top whack for him. He should be hanging his head in shame not having brocures printed about his former glories 7 or 8 years ago.
safcalsftm:
Doon Toon! Brilliant mate! It even scans to the music.
The rest of the premier league just spent 4 years watching him do sweet FA for NUFC and I'm sure he will be wanting silly money from who ever signs him. He is gonna need more than a brochure...
Here's one for you sr.melvin .. following relegation it has been decided that a new tune will be required when the players run out onto Sid James Park pitch next season. They've decided to go retro and have settled on the 1964 hit by Petula Clark, "Doon Toon", the you know the one ...
When you're a Mag and Keegans naffed off again, you know what's coming next. Doon Toon.
When you've got Ashley, all his debt and his worries, things look bleak at best. Doon Toon.
Just listen to the traffic on the way to Bristol City.
You'll have to sell old Mickey and your squad is looking @#$%.
Good times ahead? [Nah!]
Playing in the second tier, you can forget about Europe for many a year.
Coz you're doon Toon, chuffin' deserved as well.
Doon Toon, look at how far you've fell.
Doon Toon, Doncaster's waiting for you.
... as Dennis Wise would say, "you've gotta larf, incha"!
Re: sr.melvin (8) this guy has a serious case of Tourettes (PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY HE TYPES IN CAPITALS), either that or a terrible stammer, the same drivel appeared on the SAFC pages and it wasn't funny there either. Care in the Community has a lot to answer for!
APPARENTLY safc's NEW OWNER, Ellis Short, BEING AN AMERICAN, WOULD LIKE HIS NEW ACQUISITION TO TAKE ON AN AMERICAN STYLE TEAM NAME. HIS SUGGESTION, IT SEEMS, IS " SUNDERLAND BROWNS " WHO HE KNOWS, DISPITE WHATEVER HE GIVES THE CLUB TO SPEND ON NEW PLAYERS, WILL ALWAYS BE
SH I TE. HE ALSO INTENDS TO RE NAME THE HILARIOUSLY NAMED " STADIUM OF LIGHT " TO A MORE APT' " STADIUM OF SH I TE ." THE MAN'S ALREADY SHOWING THAT HE RECOGNISES THE CLUB'S STANDING IN ENGLISH " SOCCER. " reuters news agency
Forget the brochure Michael. That is soooo 1980's. Check out my new online service ClubFinder. It is for worn out old players who can't find a club the normal way. Same idea as Match-Maker and Friend-Finder. Within days you will receive tempting offers from fabulous clubs ready to satisfy your every whim, cash wise. But in your case, probably not.
Anyway. Don't Delay. Enrol Today. You get a free gift (one of those game consoles from the idiots who advertise on this forum) plus a night out with one of the prossies (blond hairs, blue eyes, etc.). I assume you are a well-educated something special.
You know it makes sense.
wonder if you buy 1 get 1 free?
There were those of us Mackems who laughed when you bought him and took stick from Mag mates at the time, who thought he ws going to be the answer to your prayers. Guess who's laughing again now? The guy was effectively finished when he left Liverpool, the back room there know what they're doing.
He's not a ex player intill the first of july, right through june he has been paid 100k a week, i see he won his liable case against the newspaper, notice Mr Owen, like some others have, hasn't come out and donated the win to a charity, says it all....
34 pages, their must a page for each goal he scored for us in the four years he's been with us, not sure what the last four could be though.
He won't be 'sold', he is a free agent - he currently has no club; he is an ex-NUFC player, thank goodness!!!!
