Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard has hinted that the Spanish club could be preparing a summer swoop for Liverpool striker Michael Owen.
The Catalan giants are said to have a £50m (€74m) transfer kitty at their disposal and are reported to be willing to splash out half of it on the 24-year-old England forward.
“We need a fast striker who is also technical and knows how to create numerous goalscoring opportunities,” Rijkaard told the Daily Mail.
“Am I referring to Owen? What do you think?”
